they all came out of their houses. Red Light they can’t go. Green Light they can go.” The illustrations are a bit dated, but still very pretty to look at. They enhance the story by only using colors that are red or green. The illustrations also teach children what different transportation and homes looks like. There are not any descriptive characters, only a boy or a dog. There is no plot, which makes it boring and feels as if it is dragging on. Overall, the book is okay for young children being introduced to books, but not for students looking for action or adventure! Show Less
