All Kinds of Cars
Carl Johanson
This partly true, partly fictitious book is a fantastic visual collection of cars and other wacky forms of transportation. Johanson’s book identifies the ordinary along with the extraordinary – from fire engines and snow plows to galactic buses and guitar cars. All Kinds of Cars is a playful mix of existing and imaginary enjoyed by adults and children alike.
Press voices
“(…) kids who love cars will enjoy this crazy compendium and will be engaged by the imaginative take on a traditional subject” Kirkus Reviews
“The simple but cleverly rendered vehicles are likely to inspire children to grab some markers and get in on the fun. Exquisite design and seductive production values make picking this book a no-brainer. Where to put it down, on your children´s night stand or living room coffe table, will present the bigger problem” The New York Times Book Review
