While reading this picture book I learned about what parts of the garbage truck and who many varieties that are made. One fun fact in the book is that garbage truck started being built in the 1920's and had no covers to keep the trash inside of the truck.
The pictures are cartoon like with little detail.

Quarantine reading. This kept kiddo's attention and she liked seeing the different types and colours of trucks. Not really my cup of tea though.

These are Squirt's faves at the moment. He and the garbage truck man are buddies, and his visit is the highlight of the week.
