In What Do Wheels Do All Day? by April Jones Prince and Giles Laroche, we explore the world of wheels, from morning to night. It begins with the sun rising, and a family's day begins. Wheels are everywhere, from the wheels on their car to the wheels on their bicycles. The book encourages children to think about the different types of wheels they encounter every day and how they help us get around.
The story then takes us to a bustling city, where we see wheels in all shapes and sizes. From delivery trucks to ambulances, wheels are essential for keeping the city moving. We also see wheels on construction vehicles, buses, and even on a hot dog cart. The vibrant illustrations by Giles Laroche bring the city to life and show the diversity of wheels in urban settings.
Next, we leave the city and head into the countryside. Here, the focus is on nature's wheels. We see wheels on tractors used for farming, wheels on boats used for fishing, and wheels on trains used for transportation. The story encourages kids to think about how wheels help us connect with nature, and how they are essential for our survival.
We then take a closer look at the wheels on animals, like the wheels on a spider's web and the wheels on a snail's shell. These natural wheels are fascinating to children, and the book encourages them to observe and appreciate the wheels they might not have noticed before.
As the day progresses, we transition to wheels of fun and adventure. We see wheels on roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and bicycles. The book encourages kids to think about how wheels bring joy and excitement to our lives. We also see wheels in sports, like basketballs and soccer balls, emphasizing the role of wheels in play and recreation.
Finally, the story ends with the sun setting, and the family returns home. They park their car, lock their bicycles, and put away their toys. The day may be over, but the wheels are still there, ready for another day of action and adventure. The book concludes with a sense of continuity, highlighting the enduring presence and importance of wheels in our lives.
