Wheels are busy. On banana carts, theyand#8217;re pushed; on dog wagons, theyand#8217;re pulled. On bikes theyand#8217;re pedaled forward; on tow trucks, towed backward! "Wheels work, and wheels play. / Thatand#8217;s what WHEELS do all day!" The rhyming text is written in both English and Spanish in this dynamic board book, each language clearly differentiated with color. Larocheand#8217;s extraordinary three-dimensional paper-relief artwork makes every colorful scenario pop, whether the wheels are spinning, whirring, racing, or rolling.
