Subway Ride

Subway Ride
by: Heather Lynn Miller
Ages: 4-8

Pay your fare and hop on to the Subway Ride! Subway Ride is a good way to introduce different types of transportation that may be unfamiliar to students. This book would be especially great for students who live in the suburbs and are not familiar with city transportation. The pages take a reader through the different subway systems that exist throughout the world, from Africa to Moscow, and back to Chicago! There are also great motion words in the book such as slide, step, whiz, bump, zip and sway. This could help children learn about the types of movement that they make during their day. The illustrations are watercolored and include children from all types of backrounds. The back of the book includes paragraphs of information about the different subway systems that exist throughout the world which would be good further reading for more advanced students.
