Kids love puzzles, all types of activity books and especially to be challenged. This book delivers all of these fun things.

Leah and Eddie invite kids along to travel the world and discover lots of interesting vehicles. Everyone gets engaged in a search-and-find adventure. Kids are asked to sift through all the colourful busy illustrations and find things that do not belong. Faux pas are embedded in each scenario and kids will have a blast finding them. There are five blunders per page that need to be detected.

Luckily the wise author has included answers at the end of the book if some things cannot be identified and some fun facts. Both kids ( and adults ) will appreciate that feature I'm sure. The book is very entertaining and will keep kids focused and cheering as they spot the mistakes and turn the page for the next quest. Let the challenges begin!

I thought that this book was really good!

I loved that the images were nice and bright which made them attractive to my daughter and she liked pointing out the different things to me, I liked you could learn a little about the different ways of transport as well as finding out and spotting the mistakes in the book.

It is 4 stars from me for this one - very enjoyable!!

I had previously (even as an adult) had a rather enjoyable time spotting the out of place anomalies featured in Catherine Veitch's What's Wrong In Dinosaur Times so was delighted to have the opportunity to have some more fun in the company of Eddie and Leah as they this time search for the five things that don't belong to scenes relating to the world of transport. With scenes that cover such subjects entitled Flying High, On the Waves, In a Spin and On the Farm the child we have the chance to see and learn about a whole range of methods of transportation. Some of the anomalies are not that easy to find and require a degree of concentration and logic to find.

Aimed at developing a young child's cognitive skills together with providing a first building block to an understanding of the subject the book contains key information regarding each depicted scene together with clues that will enable the child to identify the wrong thing to find. The graphics immediately attract and together with the snappy text there is an overall impression of fun.

This is an activity book that will I'm sure engage and entertain most children and will ensure a good level of child/adult interaction. If I were still a child I would certainly have found this a pleasurable book to have had.

This is an okay book. Once your child discovers all of the wrong things the first time, I doubt they will return to it. Overall it's okay, but I wouldn't purchase it for anyone.

I want to thank #netgalley for a copy of #WhatsWrongOnTheMove to review. I thought this was a cute book that would be good on a trip to keep kids occupied. Trying to find all the things that were wrong in each picture was fun and I think my kids would enjoy going through this book. I liked the Dinosaur book better, but my son loves cars so he preferred this book.

This is a cute book for kids but it is not a fun book. There are 5 spot the mistakes on each page but the book is cartoonish so it is hard to tell exactly what the author is referring to as a mistake. There are a couple of hints on each page. There is really no story or adventure. The book has 9 full spread pages, each featuring a different part of a town. Like the airport, the ski slopes, the park and more. That are filled with brightly colored illustrations. At the back of the boo are the answers and some facts about why each object is wrong. The book is cute for the kids, but I prefer a book that is more educational or with a story attached.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com and chose to leave this review.

I received this as an advanced copy through NetGalley. I was not happy with the book at all. Some of the items that were wrong by the author were due to the era an item was actually used. Just very confusing. I distracted my grandchild to make it seem we found all the 5 items.

In this book, young children will spend time with Eddie and Leah as they search for the things that don't belong in each scene. There are five two page spreads including Flying High, On the Waves, In a Spin and On the Farm. The illustrations in each are bright, lively and engaging. At the back of the book are answers and some fun facts. A cute book to entertain your little one.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this advance read in exchange for my honest review.

An excellent book to get children to think for themselves, and engage in oral language discussions about the pictures. Lovely images and so colourful. Would recommend.

What's Wrong? On the Move by Catherine Veitch is such a fun book for kids. A fun and easy book to show kids. And to teach kids about cars, trains, boats and so on. Even my 6 year old enjoyed it

Altogether, kids – "anomaly". Here are some spreads of lively transportation, with five things wrong in each of the nine. Our task as young people getting our heads round simple concepts like air transport, construction vehicles, emergency services and so on, is to find what's wrong – and to use our innate sense of Richard Harris/Donna Summer lyrics, too. Once the 'errors' are locked into the mind this will be of little use, but before then it's OK – if you can get round the highly cartoonish quirks of the art. And the fact that the traffic jam is full of mistakes, as everything's on the wrong side of the road.

I could see using this with a toddler to keep them busy. Beyond that it doesn't have any educational value. It's a bit silly, in my opinion.

A delightfully colourful searching activity book that looks at travel throughout the world. It’s perfect for those wanting to progress their little ones awareness of vehicles.o
