5.0 out of 5 stars A natural for storytime
From Here to There is a picture book about how a road is built, a topic preschoolers love. The author is a teacher with experience reading to young children, and her expertise
shows up in her book. From Here to There works very well as a read-aloud.

It has lots of sound words (bump, bump bump) and a good sense of rhythm.
Not too much text on each page, just enough to keep the action going. It's
a natural for preschool storytime or one-on-one story sharing.

Check out "Road Builders" by Hennessy instead, or plenty of others.
