Synopsis

Trucks lift, dump, and carry things every day, everywhere. In the same vein as his bestselling animal, physiological, and astronomy photo essays, award-winning author Simon explores and explains the child-friendly subjects of trucks. This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 6 to 8. It’s a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children.

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.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Trucks lift, dump, mix, and carry things.

They do all kinds of jobs. Tractors help on farms. Sanitation trucks clean city streets. Some trucks carry houses, or even the space shuttle!

Seymour Simon's pumping, squashing, telescoping tour of these powerful vehicles, with colorful, eye-catching photographs, captures the fire trucks, monster trucks, forklifts, and more-- in action!

Trucks push and pull. They dig and dump.
They sweep and shovel. They carry and crush.
Everyday. Everywhere.Trucks push and pull. They dig and dump.
They sweep and shovel. They carry and crush.
Everyday. Everywhere.
