I loved reading the book. Some ways were easy and some were hard. The easiest was bicycles

I liked it because i like all the different transports that have engines and are pulled by a bit of rope, electricity or horses. I would recommend it to my friend Henry.

It is a good book to read and it talked about the 80 types of ways we can travel from one place to the other (from here to there). I like travelling by train as my mother works at a train station. I will recommend

It is a factual book, and I liked it because it tells you ways to travel around the world. I used the index - how would you travel? to find a particular type of transport. I asked my Mum and sister what types of transport they would like to learn about about, and then I read it to them. There was different facts that I didn't know, so I would recommend it to a friend, because it has lots of good facts.
