Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Traffic Tie-Up
Former Honorary Professor of Family Law Chris Barton · 2018
70/100
👍 Worth It
A well-executed Level One I Can Read that teaches the inside-voice lesson through a truck-superhero concept kids genuinely enjoy. Thin plot is a format feature, not a flaw — early readers are supposed to be short, funny, and decodable. Parents and teachers will feel it earns its shelf space.
