SLJ Review of On the Move (En marcha)

This delightful series introduces young readers to the basic technology behind the vehicles they encounter and use in everyday life. Whether it’s learning about the mechanics of pedaling a bike, the importance of buses in getting people where they need to go, or understanding how planes transport passengers, children are sure to be fascinated by the various ways people travel. The books use straightforward, easy-to-follow text paired with vibrant, real-life photographs of children engaging with these vehicles. One point worth noting is the use of color contrasting in the page numbers, which may slow down reading for children who rely on page numbers to track their progress or revisit specific sections. Despite this, the simple yet effective language and engaging images ensure that both native English speakers and children learning English or Spanish can easily grasp the concepts. The translations, done with care and accuracy, maintain the clarity and flow of the original text, making the books accessible to a wider audience. This series is an excellent resource for encouraging early STEM learning while also promoting literacy. VERDICT: Whether used in classrooms or at home, these books make learning about vehicles fun and accessible for children.
