K-Gr 2–A very good Spanish-language translation of Gibbons’s updated 2017 Transportation! How People Get Around. The spreads are entertaining, with lots of details for students to focus on. The vehicles are labeled by name and cover transportation by air, land, and sea. The machine parts are also presented in detail. This engaging way of grouping these different modes of transportation can be a great resource for students learning ­Spanish. ­Gibbons’s iconic look is instantly recognizable, with an overall layout that makes this nonfiction book accessible. This title could serve both native speakers and immersion students, which gives it broad readability. A must-have for STEM curricula, especially where there are vehicle aficionados. ­
VERDICT Purchase for early elementary school collections and communities serving Spanish speakers and learners.
