{My thoughts} – This is a fun little book about the trucks that do so many things on a day to day basis. It has them grouped as Carriers, Helpers, Builders, Movers, Farmers and Rescuers. I have to admit there are a lot that I had no idea what threir grouping was considered. Like a School Bus is grouped as a mover, I wouldn’t have thought that.

The illustrations are kid friendly and most of the text is in a short verse. It is easy to understand and well put together. This has the potential to help any child that loves trucks to learn more about them and their groupings.

I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future. ( )

First sentence: Every day, trucks work hard to make our lives faster, easier, and safer!

Premise/plot: This one works for a slightly older audience. It has a main narrative, but it also labels a hundred plus trucks and, in a way, organizes information for young readers.

My thoughts: This is one of those books that grow with your little one. It does have a main narrative. If time is tight or your little one has a smaller attention span, then one can stick to the main text. If you have more time, or if your little one is CURIOUS and full of questions, one can interact with the smaller pictures and text. One could certainly interact with the text. Parents asking questions for little ones and vice versa. For example, "can you find the truck with the hotdog on it?" or "do you think it would be fun to ride a tram?" The illustrations are definitely on the busier side. ( )
