Ready for a Ride

Reach for this book when your toddler is gearing up for a first big outing, a trip to see grandparents, or is simply obsessed with the things that go 'vroom' and 'choo-choo' in their neighborhood. It transforms the potential stress of travel into a rhythmic, sensory adventure that validates a child's excitement about the world around them. The story follows a toddler and mother as they navigate an urban environment using a stroller, a bus, and a train to reach Grandma's house. With its soothing repetition and focus on the joyful bond between mother and child, it is a perfect choice for building confidence around public transportation and transitions. It serves as both a vocabulary builder for vehicle lovers and a reassuring roadmap for a day spent away from home.
