Come along for the ride and meet the teams behind the machines that get us to our destinations in this "spirited...engaging" (The Horn Book, starred review) rhyming picture book celebrating transportation teamwork and featuring vibrant art by award-winning illustrator Robert Neubecker!

Who makes buses rev and go, through detours, gridlock, storms, and snow? Who sends riders--CLICK, CLICK, CLACK--down the proper railroad track?

It's not just drivers and pilots and conductors! It's also mechanics and maintenance workers, loaders and air traffic controllers, ticket agents and dispatchers. Young readers will meet the people who work behind the scenes to keep us and our vehicles moving and explore a whole slew of fun--and essential--transportation professions!
