Here to There (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 1/Co-Reader)

Car, trucks, planes, trains, bikes, gondolas, and even funiculars--there are so many ways to get around! Set out on a journey around the world to discover just how many vehicles we use to get from here to there.

Whether you're canoeing down a river, zooming in a maglev train, or just simply walking, people are always on the move! In this book, young readers will explore the ways we travel through water, on land, and in the sky.

National Geographic Kids Readers have been a hit in the beginning reader category, and this book builds upon that success with a new approach--parents and children reading together. With the same combination of careful text, brilliant photographs, and fun approach to high-interest subjects that has proved to be a winning formula with kids, National Geographic Co-readers provide one page of adult read-aloud and one page of kid read-aloud text on each spread, building toward a collaborative reading experience.JENNIFER SZYMANSKI is a freelance science writer and editor.
