Part of a recently launched line of books created by a home furnishings design company, this sleek board book explores modes of transportation, using crisp, high-contrast graphics. Taking a cue from street signs (there’s even a page with traffic symbols), images of vehicles like a scooter and truck are pared down to their basic, geometric components. The images are raised for a satisfying tactile effect, while the modish color combinations, like mint green and orange, add to a fresh, kinetic feel. Also available: Eat . Up to age 2. (Mar.)
