Reading this with your child

The 1974 Busytown traffic is full of vehicles and tiny incidents. For shared reading or visual discovery, I suggest following one specific vehicle or looking for Goldbug rather than trying to name every single thing at once.

For visual discovery, familiar read-alouds, and lap reading.
