Rhyming text and illustrations with bright color and bold form depict a child’s play with toy trucks, cars, and other things that move. Lines on the road are created by pencils, overpasses by books, and a teddy bear is seen in a traffic circle. The book shows the child’s appealing, imaginary world, all within his control.

Rhythmic language and lively illustration invite readers to join a mother and her child as they travel on the subway.  The young girl enjoys the sights and sounds of a diverse city when they travel uptown by going “down, down, down.”
