About The Book
Who makes buses rev and go, through detours, gridlock, storms, and snow? Who sends riders—CLICK, CLICK, CLACK—down the proper railroad track?
It’s not just drivers and pilots and conductors! It’s also mechanics and maintenance workers, loaders and air traffic controllers, ticket agents and dispatchers. Young readers will meet the people who work behind the scenes to keep us and our vehicles moving and explore a whole slew of fun—and essential—transportation professions!

"This one stands out in its salutary commitment to shining a spotlight on support teams. A warmly inclusive addition to the things-that-go genre."
– Kirkus Reviews, 2/15/24
"Readers don’t have to be vehicle aficionados to appreciate these pages: by spotlighting a behind-the-scenes workforce, Ackerman (The Gabi That Girma Wore) and Neubecker (Just Like Rube Goldberg) expand their audiences’ apertures in terms of both awareness and appreciation."
– Publishers Weekly, 1/22/24
"This distinctive transportation book with its chirpy, rhyming text appeals to a young vehicle-loving audience while capturing the complicated and often overlooked aspects involved in keeping systems moving."
