Description
The book "And The Cars Go..." is a fun and engaging read-aloud that uses sound words and detailed illustrations to showcase different types of vehicles. The story follows a traffic jam filled with a variety of characters, including a family in a station wagon, a Duke and Duchess in a Rolls Royce, and a school bus full of children. The vehicles are described using onomatopoeia, such as "brrrm, brrrmm" and "chug, chug," and the story builds up to reveal the cause of the traffic jam.
