Zoom! tells the story of a little boy who goes on a roller
coaster ride with his dad. Each page of the book walks the reader through each step of
the ride—from his fear in the line up, to the exhilaration he feels during the ride, to
the desire to go again after it’s over. The book is short and sweet, keeping the
attention of children aged two to six.
The vocabulary is simple enough
for five and six-year-olds to work on their reading skills with very few unfamiliar words
to stumble over. Beginner readers can follow the rhyming words and also practice a lot of
-ing words that will strengthen their vocabulary.
The illustrations are
bright and colourful and demonstrate each pair of rhyming lines. The artist, who was
inspired by his own son’s ride on a roller coaster, captures the expressions of a father
and son beautifully at each moment of the ride.
Pick up Zoom! to
inspire your child to read, but be prepared for your next trip to an amusement park to
include a roller coaster ride.
