5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice large illustrations of a variety of big trucks,
By
This review is from: Big Book of Trucks (Hardcover)
I picked up this book as an impulse buy "for my daughter." She seems to enjoy it a lot because of the large, colorful pictures of trucks -- including a mobile home toter, a giant dump truck, trial truck, and a concept truck. Each picture is well captioned with interesting side notes. For example, the book points out the concrete truck's drum rotates both directions, one to mix the concrete (and prevent it from setting) and the other to pour the mixture out. It's one of her favorites and she's memorized all of the names (listening to a 24 month old say "mobile home toter" is pretty funny). As she gets older, she'll have more appreciation for the footnotes. I also appreciate how the book displays trucks from different locales. For example, we don't see any "Road Trains" or "Trial Trucks" in the 'States.

By Mom of 2 (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Book of Trucks (Hardcover)
Great Book, its very large with big pictures. I would say the book is 18in long by 12in wide. You just have to watch the book with little ones because it has pages that open out of the book. I bought the book for my 2 year old to play with but now its a book that only mommy can read to him because we don't want to rip it. Would recommend for any truck lover.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent illustrations (true DK quality); Large format,
By Anton (Summit, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Book of Trucks (Hardcover)
The quality of the book is in keeping with other DK publications (the eyewitness guides, etc.). The book is large format and provides an engaging visual reference for kids (and their parents alike).
Parents should keep in mind the following (a) This is a regular book, i.e. not made exceptionally sturdy for children (it is not a "board" book), so pages can be easily torn-up or wrinkled (made even easier by the large format of the pages) (b) Most of the trucks shown in the book are unique (e.g. long trailers, racing trucks, etc.), instead of the more everyday varieties that one sees on the street. Otherwise, my 2-year old son loves the book!
