Everything Goes on Land (2011) - Brian Biggs


















Everything Goes on Land is a wonderful book that would work best in a one-on-one situation or possibly a small storytime setting of just a handful of kids.

There's lots going on with just about every page. Busy streets provide lots to look at and identify, making the book far too detailed for large groups, but great for one-on-one reading. Kids can hit visual overload on some of these pages, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since Biggs pauses to give young readers an in-depth look at the parts of a car, an 18-wheeler, a camper, motorcycle, bicycle and more. It's definitely a fun book that gets kids to notice the world around them, even if they're stuck in traffic. Again, great for very small groups, but not-so-good for large storytimes.
