Select your favourite mode of transport, from bike to boat, from skates to sledge, pack some supplies and see what adventure the ride takes you on. The preschoolers come to the library looking for books about transport and diggers so this day gives you an excuse to do a display of the various ways you can go for a ride. Here's a selection that your library might have too.
