If you believe your kids should be indoctrinated in transportationism, you will get them appropriate books. While transportation fiction is a narrow category, kids books about transportation are plentiful. Here are some books and stories I liked for which the transportation technologies are important elements and geared toward younger readers.

  1. The Phantom Tollbooth (book and movie)
  2. Go, Dog, Go! – PJ Eastman (the abridged version is almost poetic)
  3. Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus – Mo Willems
  4. The Railway Series –  Rev. W. Awdry
  5. Richard Scarry’s What Do People Do All Day
