Trucks

A reintroduction of a classic from renowned author/illustrator Anne Rockwell in board book format.

A fascinating and accurate look at different kinds of trucks and what they do, Anne Rockwell's simplified text and detailed illustrations will captivate readers as her cast of cats move, tow, and carry different items throughout the city. Truck lovers will be delighted to recognize and identify the familiar vehicles they see in their own neighborhoods every day.

Staff Review:

A board book on different types of trucks, all colourfully illustrated through the cats that use them for everyday activities, such as on a construction site, a truck selling ice-cream, and pickup trucks on a pumpkin farm.

This book is ideal for teaching children how to recognize trucks in everyday life and their different uses. And that intention of the book is summarized in the single sentence at the end: “Trucks bring us the things we need.” The cats that perform human tasks give the book a fun feel that lends a universal appeal, so that girls can find interest and gain knowledge on a subject that may have been more traditionally aimed at boys.
