Around the World On the Go — Gina Cascone

All around the world, people are coming and going. How we travel depends on where we live. In Flint, Michigan, many people travel by car. But in Huatajata, Bolivia, on the shores of Lake Titicaca, people might travel by Totora, a crescent-shaped reed boat, as the Uru people have been doing for thousands of years. In Mijas, Spain, passengers are carried by burro taxi as they make their way through the narrow, cobbled streets of the village; while in Kampala, Uganda, a boda-boda taxi driver must navigate the busy city traffic to deliver his passenger to work on time. In this follow-up to the popular Around the World Right Now, young readers will visit over 20 countries as they learn about the many different ways people travel in their daily lives.
