If your child is fascinated by transportation books, check out "Machines Go to Work in the City" (Henry Holt, $16.99). Huntington author and illustrator William Low provides a close-up look at some cool vehicles (tower crane, garbage truck, vacuum truck and more). Even better, Low invites young readers to answer a key question about each vehicle, then provides the answer when they lift a flap. Low ends the story with a picture glossary of the vehicles.
