BOOKS IN ENGLISH
In this book, each letter of the alphabet focuses on a vehicle or item associated with transportation — from airplane to the Zamboni. Each letter also includes engaging now-and-then facts and images that show how transportation has changed over the years, lead-in questions, and I Wonder questions. Young readers will be intrigued by the variety of ways humans travel — on land, over water, and in the sky.

C c canoe
H h helicopter
Would you rather paddle a canoe or ride in a motor boat?
Can you describe the sound of a helicopter when it is flying?
Did you know?
Did you know?
Canoes are a fun way to travel over lakes and rivers. A canoe can be made from many different materials, including wood, fiberglass, and aluminum.
Helicopters are used for searchand-rescue, photography, fighting forest fires, chasing criminals, and many other activities that require takeoff and landing in small spaces. If you live near a hospital, you may see a helicopter taking off from or landing on the hospital’s roof in an emergency.
I wonder Why do canoes tip so easily?
Many years ago, Indigenous peoples of Canada invented the canoe to make it easier to travel the waterways. The first canoes were handmade from birchbark.
The first helicopters were used by the military for watching enemy territory, delivering supplies, and moving injured soldiers.

I wonder How is a helicopter able to hover, or stay in the air in one place?
