OverviewIn this rhyming bedtime book, vehicles wind down for the night and roll off to bed.

The soothing text and large, up-close pictures of vehicles such as trucks, planes, and fire engines will make this a favourite bedtime or naptime story for little ones who are fascinated with things that go. The Spanish and English texts are set in two different colours for easy readability.
