Bought for my vehicle loving 5 year old. I’ll know he’ll treasure it for a long time. His dad has an eye on it as well! Recommend and it’s making me consider others in the series

I was looking for a plane book for my toddler, and didn’t realize how big and heavy this was. But ended up keeping it, because my baby loves cars and all vehicles, and he really enjoys looking at them in pictures. Great book, with interesting details about each type of vehicle. I’m sure we’ll get lots of use out of it in the future as well.

Five years on, this book has lost it’s back cover having been loved so very much by my son. From the age of three, he leafed through it, chose it as his ‘bedtime story’ and asked question after question. Now, nearly 8, he can read it and loves to tell us about every vehicle in the book. Best gift we have bought him, if ROI is the measure.

gives a good incite to all forms of transport

DK Cars, trains, ships and planes (hardcover)
As usual from “Our world in pictures” series, this book offers lovely illustrations and hundreds of interesting facts (256 pages).
I bought it mainly for my 5 year old son who is absolutely into all sorts of vehicles, beginning from bikes, usual cars, supercars, lorries, trains, tall ships, modern ships, planes, jet fighters and space vehicles.
This book is all about it. It does not go into depths in regards to all above, but has hundreds of pictures and as we all know, the pictures are the things which will easier catch kids attention rather than dozens of text lines.
It’s a perfect book for a young child or rather young child and a parent. In my opinion teenagers and adults will definitely have a look at it and enjoy it too, no doubt, but will not find it so engaging in the longer run.
Please have a look at the real photos attached.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in vehicles, regardless of age, although especially children will be enjoying it the most and for the longest time.
