Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ages 3^-6. Get ready to hear little kids (okay, mostly boys) going "vroom, vroom" when they get their hands on this. In signature DK style--oversize, with plenty of pictures in color--the book takes on, as the cover text puts it, "the biggest, heaviest, chunkiest machines on the move." Included are the tow truck, tractor, jumbo jet, icebreaker, fire engine, tractor trailer, and giant dump truck, among others. Each two-page spread opens to one of the monster machines, which seems to be jumping out of the page. It is surrounded by smaller photos and nuggets of information. Even though this is aimed at young kids, older students will probably be sneaking a peek, too. Ilene Cooper

The large photos are wonderful, but...,
By Anissa Jean Tooley (Albuquerque, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monster Machines (Hardcover)
This book is a large format with full sized fold-out pages. The pages fold out on both sides revealing big photographs. ...but even when my child is careful (rarely), the pages do not get folded back into the proper place. When the book is closed, the fold-out pages get crumpled.

MONSTER HIT with 4yr old boy,
By "lukes_madre" (Tustin, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monster Machines (Hardcover)
DK publishes great books - we have many of the hardboards as well as ones similar to this. If you have the 'Trains' or "Things That Go" ones, you may find this a tad redundant (dump truck and trains are again featured in "Monster"). I was especially impressed with the inclusion of the Jumbo Jet (photo of piggy-backed Space Shuttle was cool) and the Ice Breaker Ship. I find the fold-out pages to be more an asset than hindrance. True, extra care is required to avoid bending them, but the extended page size they afford more than makes up for the inconvenience.
