Reviewed with Peter Mandel's Boats on the River.PreS. Busy and bright, these larger-than-average board books whir with vehicles in motion. Spare, rhyming words introduce each plane or boat, but the language is sometimes perplexing. Instead of using common names such as helicopter or submarine, Mandel uses phrases that describe what each vehicle does--"whirly-bird plane" and "go-below boats." The final spread in each book falls particularly flat, ending with a confusing reference: "This one is your [boat or plane]," accompanied by a picture of a toy children probably won't own. The illustrations more than make up for the over-reaching language, though. Using vivid, solid colors and simple geometric shapes reminiscent of Byron Barton's style, Miller creates exciting scenes of boats, planes, and passengers in action, while the uncluttered spreads and easily definable shapes invite counting practice for chubby-handed preschoolers. Pair these with Tana Hoban's Construction Zone (1997) for the Tonka Truck crowd. ((Reviewed May 15, 2004)) Copyright 2004 Booklist Reviews. - Publishers Weekly Reviews : PW Reviews 2004 March #4
A pair of titles by Peter Mandel, illus. by Edward Miller, explore vehicles of the sea and sky. Boats on the River covers everything from "shiny showboats" to "slice-snow boats," with rhymed text and simple computer-generated illustrations featuring largely geometric shapes. Planes at the Airport depicts the gamut-loud urban "whirly-bird planes" and rural "barely heard planes."

PreS-Spare phrases combined with bold graphic illustrations will entice busy toddlers. Mandel uses adjectives to describe the vehicles instead of their proper names. For example, submarines are "go-below boats," helicopters are "whirly-bird planes," and sailboats are "circle-slow boats." The final spread in both titles incorporates a child's world by depicting boats floating in the bathtub and youngsters playing with toy planes in an open field. Miller's clear, flat artwork combined with a singsong text suitable for reading aloud make these titles entertaining choices for transportation enthusiasts.-Olga R.
