Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A freezer truck, backhoe, grapple skidder, snowblower and a homely lunch truck are among the 100 rugged vehicles pictured on the die-cut pages of this oversize, dump truck-shaped board book. Each spread boasts a detailed drawing of a different truck-friendly locale, including a farm and its surrounding timberlands, a busy urban street and an airport runway replete with a platform loader, scissors truck and other specialized vehicles. Clearly labeled with their specific names, these big rigs are typically shown performing their jobs: the street sweeper sweeps, the tow truck tows a hapless car and the searchlight unit illuminates a burning building. An added attraction is the perky yellow van that appears in every spread. Truck-happy youngsters will give this a big ten-four. Ages 6 mos.-5 yrs.

My 3 1/2 yr. old loves this book. There are farm trucks, city trucks, log trucks, construction trucks, emergency trucks, EVERYTHING! This book can hold my son's imagination for a whole hour! We have talks about things in this book from the trucks themselves to the trees, the people in the trucks, the buildings, the ice cream in the ice cream truck... it spawns many conversations from my son! He loves it! I recommend it for infants to 90 yrs. old!

We have used this book in my Toddler classroom for several years. I have repaired it so many times, that I finally bought a new one. We intorduce into our classroom bookshelf duri;ng the second half of the year, as the vocabulary of the children advances. The book is filled with pictures of various types and names of trucks. It is a favorite. I personally have given this book to young relatives and friends.

My son loooooooooooves this book. He is all about trucks, and this one has them all. It is informative for parents as well, as it gives you the specific names for all sorts of trucks you previously just called 'truck'. A nice vocabulary expander.
