Summary:
A simple text and photographs from around the world tell how people move and carry things from place to place.

Teaching Ideas:
The book offers many teaching opportunities but may be too simplistic for some students. The book includes an index of the location and explanation of the photographs that could be used for map skills. Math skills could be incorporated by figuring the time and cost of various modes of transportation. Note: In a family literacy activity, the text and photographs provide excellent opportunities for parent-child reading aloud and discussion.
