Editorial Reviews

Review

“Biggs has a cheery cartooning style that’s reminiscent of R. Crumb and ideal for populating his oversized pages with a multitude of players and detail. With running visual jokes and mini-narratives adding to the fun, Biggs gives readers lots to take in and enjoy.” (Publishers Weekly )

“In a visual feast for fans of wheeled vehicles large and small, Biggs presents a series of high-density street scenes done in an amiably rumpled cartoon style. A glory ride for young car, truck, train, bus and trolley devotees.” (Kirkus Reviews )

“Fun and learning are ideally balanced in this engaging trek that will be revisited umpteen times before every tidbit of labeling, conversation, and oddity is discovered in this wealth of urban wheels.” (School Library Journal )

“Once you embark on this wild interactive journey, don’t expect to get home for quite a while.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books )

“Everything Goes: On Land is sort of the perfect gift book for a child, any child, regardless of a predisposition for vehicular transportation or not.” (Betsy Bird, Fuse #8/SLJ blog )

More About the Author

Brian Biggs was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1968, the son of a mystical one-armed sailor with secret powers and a Portuguese train bandit. He began drawing pictures immediately. At age eleven, he moved to Pasadena, Texas where he learned to talk to cows and watch football.
He went to college for one year in Denton, Texas, for two years in New York City, and for one other year in Paris, France. He graduated with a degree in Graphic Design in 1990, because he didn't realize at the time that drawing pictures was something he could do for a "job."
In 1993, Brian moved to San Francisco where after a few years as a graphic designer, he realized that he could draw pictures as a "job" and began doing so with gusto. He drew comic books and illustrations for magazines and he drew posters and made animations and eventually began drawing children's books. He moved to Philadelphia in 1999 and now lives in a big old house there with his two kids, his fiancée, his dog, and two cats that no one really claims but who seem to run things. Brian works out of a quiet old garage where he draws pictures, builds secret experimental jet-packs, and likes to make music in his spare time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book October 3, 2011
Format:Hardcover
If your child loves buses, bikes, taxis, subways, ice cream trucks, singing guitars, and funny people--this is a GREAT book. The pictures are great and there are some upclose pics of trailers, bikes, and cars. You can search for different things on each page--so you can read 100 times and never get bored. My son asked for it over dinner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful and smart October 24, 2011
Format:Hardcover
My three year old son picked this book out at our local book shop. The cover is eye catching. The story is thoughtful and intelligent conversation between a son and his father. The dialog and illustrations are very informative. This book has a lot of different levels. He doesn't get the look for the numbers on the page yet, but I am sure he will in the future. I am confident we will be reading it over and over in the upcoming years. We are already looking forward to the next book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2 year-old's new favorite book October 19, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this title for my son's 2nd birthday, knowing he would love it. Before getting this, his favorite book was Rotraut Susanne Berner's "In Town All Year 'Round"In the Town All Year 'Round, which has lots of great seek-and-find elements. His love of all things that GO (cars, trucks, busses, and especially trains!) made this book a no-brainer.

I was not disappointed! We look through it every night before bed. Some nights he even wants to sleep with it.

This book works on so many levels. The colors are bright and saturated, so the book begs to be looked at. The illustrations are a lot of fun and since there is so much going on, there is something new and funny to see each time you open it.

One of the strongest selling points for me is that I can imagine my son enjoying this book in many different ways for years to come. There is a bit of a journey that happens, so it could read as a story, where the child or caregiver uses visual clues to provide more narrative. For the younger set who have shorter attention spans, it works as a seek-and-find, which I have found helps to build vocabulary and patience. And in addition to the busy seek-and-find pages, there are pages that offer a fun cross section highlighting the layout of a motor home, or label the parts on a certain type of vehicle.
