Title: Things That Go Format: Board Book Overview: DK's Pop-up Peekaboo! Things That Go brings toddlers into a lively world of vehicles and wonder. This sturdy board book invites little readers to meet colorful cars, trucks, boats, and more as lively pop-up scenes spring to life with every turn of the page. Part of DK's Pop-up Peekaboo! series, it has been shortlisted for the Best Preschool Reading Range in The Progressive Preschool Awards 2018, a mark of quality in early learning publishing. Perfect for read-aloud sessions, the book pairs simple, repetitive text with bright, friendly illustrations to support early language development and memory. The real delight comes from the five pop-out surprises that appear as you lift the flaps: a car emerging from a garage, a boat riding a wave, and other toy vehicles that vanish and reappear, inviting prediction and recall. Designed for ages 0–5, this interactive title encourages experimentation, naming objects, and building confidence as little hands explore sturdy pages and tactile flaps. Its durable board construction stands up to everyday use by curious babies and toddlers, making it an ideal first vehicle-themed read. Whether shared at bedtime, during tummy time, or on car journeys, Things That Go offers a playful, accessible introduction to motion, sound, and cause-and-effect that parents and carers will return to again and again. What You’ll Discover Inside: Inside this playful board book, you'll find five pop-out moments that transform each page into a tiny kinetic scene. The vehicle-themed spread invites toddlers to guess what comes next and to name the objects they see, supporting early vocabulary and word recognition. The pop-ups are paired with lift-the-flaps that reveal familiar toy vehicles popping out from their pages, reinforcing memory and prediction skills as little readers observe cause and effect—pull a flap and a car appears, lift a tab and a boat surges into view. The text is brief, rhythmic, and easy for carers to read aloud, helping to develop listening and comprehension while the vibrant, high-contrast illustrations captivate growing minds. Durable board pages are sized for little hands, making it simple for babies to touch, turn, and explore without worry. The book's design keeps the focus on approachable concepts—types of transport, movement, and everyday scenes—so caregivers can extend the learning into simple conversations about travel, safety, and exploring the world. Who It’s For: Ideal for ages 0–5, Things That Go makes a thoughtful gift for new parents, grandparents, or carers seeking interactive, developmental read-aloud experiences. It's perfect for busy nurseries and early-learning classrooms that value tactile engagement and language-building. Toddlers will enjoy the surprise of each pop-out, while parents and caregivers will appreciate the simple, repetitive text that builds confidence in naming vehicles and describing action. The compact board-book format is ideal for tiny hands, car trips, and bedtime routines, and the compact size ensures it travels well for on-the-go exploration.
