Go!: Poetry in Motion

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Valeri Gorbachev. Lively verses describe various vehicles, including a sailboat (a "white-sailed / wave dipper") and a truck who returns home "wagging his tailgate behind him," all propelled by anthropomorphized animals. The title of each poem is also the name of the vehicle, but, confusingly, sometimes the titles are part of the poem and sometimes not. The whimsical illustrations are reminiscent of Richard Scarry.
