Around the neighborhood or on a road trip, pre-reading passengers will be ready to understand the signs along the way. 

School Library Journal

Toddler-PreS--Backseat drivers will delight in this board book featuring 35 different road signs. Using tactile shapes, the title showcases unique and recognizable signs. Each sign has a short one-sentence explanation: "Firehouse/ Prepare to pull over if fire trucks come out of the firehouse." Children will catch on quickly and are likely to memorize the messaging and become sign decoders during long car rides and trips around town. A great purchase for most libraries.
