What Do Wheels Do All Day?
This book really moves along, showing many kinds of wheels in action—what they do and the sounds they make. Plenty of action verbs, such as “zoom,” “roll,” and “spin," used in short, energetic sentences with brilliant pictures (made of paper relief art) make this an exciting book that children will want to read again and again! With pictures of people on bicycles, buses, skateboards, and even a Ferris wheel, this book will take children on a great ride.

Book Activities & Discussion Ideas
Ask your children to point to the pictures of “the stroller,” “the bus,” and other wheeled objects in the book. Have children name the wheeled objects that have small wheels or large wheels. Ask children which wheels move fast, and which move slowly.
When you travel to town or country (or even just outside around your house), have children point to some of the same wheeled objects they saw in this book—and to other ones, too. Ask children to draw pictures of their favorite wheeled objects and ask what these wheels do: “Do they roll?” “Do they spin?” "Do they make a noise, or are they quiet?"
