Trucks

by Debbie Powell

Charming illustrations and touchable, eye-catching shapes make this the perfect choice for every young child who loves things that go.

Watch some amazing trucks as they do their hard work. Feel their shiny wheels and shapes — and just try to resist joining in with their noisy sounds. Puff with the steamroller, whir with the cement mixer, and go brrm with the digger! Can you guess what they are building? Thanks to a wonderfully tactile format and dynamic illustrations, the littlest of readers will be happy to take this sturdy book for a drive again and again.

A simple baby and up book about differnt trucks helping to build a house. I really liked the sounds the trucks make.

Fun pages with shapes to touch and sounds to mimic lead to a surprise.

Re-read 2/16/17: Mama saw this at the library and brought it home for me, forgetting that we had already read it! It's still fun to name the trucks, even if I'm too old for board books.

Originally read 11/26/16: Mama read this to me the other night. I'm a little too old for board books, but I love trucks so it was fun to read.
