Trucks lift, dump, and carry things every day, everywhere. Did you know that... .Some trucks can weigh as much as ten elephants put together. .Flatbed trucks can carry other trucks, houses, and even a space shuttle! .Semitrailer cabs can have a bed behind the front seat so that drivers can pull over and rest on long trips. .Road-train trucks pull multiple trailers at the same time, just like a locomotive pulls freight cars on a train.

I too am a children's librarian. I am a big fan of Seymour Simon's books - he always presents interesting information, clear prose, and beautiful pictures. His truck book, however, seems to suffer from the use of file photos as illustrations instead of any pictures taken just for the book. A few of his photos are not sufficiently illustrative of his text - like his photo of a tractor shows only half of a tractor in dim light. Still, there are plenty of young truck fans out there, and you could do lots worse than this concise book.
I bought it because my kids love trucks but I guess I assumed it would be a book all about 18 wheelers. It has a lot of very dated pics(70s/80s) of very random types of trucks. Overall it just "ok" not what I was looking for and it would have been nice if the pictures were modern.
When my son was a toddler, he LOVED trucks. We read numerous books about trucks. We read realistic ones, fictional ones. We read I Stink!We read I'm Dirty! Those were both great books for little children about trucks, too.But of all the many books we read about trucks, this one was our favorite. My son loved the realistic photographs and the detailed information he was able to learn through this book. Our librarian suggested it and she was right. It was just right for a little truck lover!
Many types of trucks are pictured in the artistic photographs. Their functions are described in a bold font, which is easy to read. Young students will like the variety and the realism, which may feed their imagination, as they role play. This book is sure to be a favorite among truck lovers.
