Whether on water, on land, or in the sky, these animals are on the go and invite you to join them! Young readers will be tickled and delighted by the witty and imaginative hybrid animal-vehicles on the MOOOve between these pages. The perfect book for kids who love animals and trains, planes and automobiles!
