Written by Bernie McAllister and illustrated by John Aardema, Bicycles, Airships, and Things That Go! "follows a family as they travel by bike, airship, cargo scooter, high-speed train and solar-powered ferry to and from the science museum," according to Kinney. The family encounters cutting edge green technology, clearly labeled and easily accessible, along the way.
