A cute early reader for vehicle enthusiasts. Go on a world wide journey with the Van Go family as they take many different vehicles across several countries and continents. Lovely illustrations. I particularly enjoyed the sections that compared different buses or police cars from multiple countries.

This book is an absolute delight! The most aptly named Van Go animal family lives in Scotland. They love their home country but Mom and Dad would like their children to see more of the world. So…off they go during their school vacation. Children and their parents will enjoy traveling with them.

The family travels through Europe, India, Australia, New Zealand, New York and more. With bright, cheerful illustrations reminiscent of Richard Scarry, all kind of vehicles are seen. There are trains, boats, planes, taxis and bikes, just to name a few.

I highly recommend this book. It was great fun from start to finish and will remind children and adults that there is a great world out there just waiting to be discovered and enjoyed!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher.

Original premise - I've not seen a book that weaves together transportation and travel. Informative and I found sparks further discussion

This was enjoyed by my nephew. It has lots of information squeezed into every page. My nephew liked looking at the different pictures but struggled to keep his concentration when it came to listening to the story. I think it was a bit to long for him.

Personally I liked this book and will probably be buying a few copies to give as gifts.dd

This is a fun and informative story about anthropomorphic Scottish animals who travel around the world. They use different vehicles and forms of public transit to travel around, and compare the differences between different countries public transit. This would be a great read for any child who is about to go on a trip to a different country. I think an age range as wide as 4 - 8 could appreciate this item.

I would probably shelve this in the picture book section rather than the non-fiction section. It is driven by a central plot, and the non-fiction information is woven into the story.

I think this book is fantastic - the illustrations really bring the book to life. As a family who love to travel, I would definitely want to read this with my child. I don't think it is a one-time read at all - children can continue reading as they get older and enhance their geography/vehicle knowledge. The educational aspects don't feel forced - they naturally fit within the style and tone of the book. It also acknowledges anxieties that a child who hasn't traveled before might feel such as getting the subway and being away from home. I love how the beginning tells children that their home will be waiting for them when they return but there is a big wide world to see out there. Travel has shaped me as a person and it is something I am very keen to continue with my own child so this book really is perfect for when that time comes. I will definitely be purchasing in the future!

"Around the World in Every vehicle" by Amber Stewart felt a bit scattered and unfocused. I also felt like the author was trying to be too cute by calling the family the "Van Go" Family. There was a lot of text, but not a cohesive story or way to bring the information together.

I could see a child or class who was studying transportation perhaps using the illustrations to look at and explore what transportation is used around the world, but I don't think many would choose this book for pleasure reading.

Around the world in every vehicle by author Amber Stewart is an educational and fun children’s book that takes us around the world in all different vehicles. A great learning tool!
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of Around the world in different vehicles in exchange for an honest review.
