"In this unusual and colourful look-and-learn book, Tom Schamp takes us on a journey through the centuries. Along with Otto we are given a cheery history lesson, from the invention of the wheel to the car of tomorrow. Schamp's Encyclopaedia Ottomecanica treats us to everything that has or once had wheels, from the Trojan horse to the Harley Davidson, from the stagecoach and the steam train to the Vespa, from the skateboard to the Honda Civic. We ponder emergency services that look different in each country, discover buses of every imaginable dimension and weight, and can choose on which racing bike we'd like to win a classic race"-- Provided by publisher.
