Part guessing game and part tactile experience for little ones, Making Tracks: City by Abi Hall is just one title in this diverse series. Follow the die-cut grooves of the tracks and take a guess using context clues to see who (or what!) is making them, then turn the flap to see if you were right! Though this book may be small -- the representation inside is so important.

MAKING TRACKS: CITY is a fun lift-the-flap board book that features tracks and asks who made them. When children lift the flaps, they get a character or animal with a name and what they are doing. For instance, with the two thin lines (wheelchair), we see Robert, who is going to play basketball. The tracks are all die-cut into the book, and each page features simple illustrations and lots of bright colors.
What I loved: I love the diversity of characters and the inclusion of both people and animals who are making the tracks. These are truly reflective of a city, and is a fun lift-the-flap adventure for young children. The die-cut tracks and peek-through cut-outs on the flaps add some tactile fun that little ones can enjoy running their fingers over. I really appreciated that everyone (even the animals) are given names and activities in which they are partaking that gives it a more story-like feel.
The writing is large and clear, making it easy to read from a distance, and the flaps are very thick, sturdy, and nearly the size of a full page, making them easy for little fingers to turn and explore. This is perfect for older infants and young toddlers, who will appreciate the brief phrases, easy to turn pages and flaps, bright colors, and tracks to touch.
Final verdict: A fun exploration of the activities and tracks in the city, this board book is a cute and delightful lift-the-flap adventure for older infants and young toddlers.

One of eight books in this interactive series for youngsters, this one focuses on the tracks that might be found in a city. Readers can trace a track with their fingers, lift a flap, and discover who made those tracks. There are five of them, and the flaps reveal a girl on a bike, a pigeon, a cat, a boy in a wheelchair heading out to play ball, and a mouse. Youngsters will enjoy making predictions about where those tracks lead and their origin as well as making some guesses from the visual clues. While many of us may forget that there are bits of greenery and nature to be found in cities, this book reminds us of that possibility. The book is sturdy and suited for repeated use, and the possibility to touch the tracks will appeal to those readers who enjoy tactile learning. This is a good title to use with preschoolers.

This is part of a Making Tracks series that uses flaps, die-cuts, and thick board book pages to create a fun and interactive books for toddlers. Each page has a trail of tracks leading under the flap which invites guesses about who is making the tracks. In this book, they are animals and other things you find in a city. Bright, engaging, and fun. A great book for the youngest readers.
