Toddler-PreS This informational board book introduces six common work vehicles that youngsters are apt to see around towna utility truck, a snowplow, a fire truck, an ambulance, a crane, and a broadcast truckand the important jobs they perform. For each one, a scenario is suggested and a full-page rendering depicts the vehicle with the special attachments and features labeled. The text reads: "Whose truck is this? Do you know?" and the lift of a flap shows lineworkers, firefighters, highway maintenance workers, EMTs, crane operators, and a broadcast team in action. The bold, graphic cartoon style provides just the right amount of detail. Perfect for preschool community worker units and vehicle-loving kids.
The board book Whose Truck? is “interactive and educational . . . a must for toddlers and preschoolers fascinated by trucks and the people who operate them” (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review).
This nonfiction follow-up to Whose Tools? features six kinds of trucks—a utility truck, a fire truck, a snowplow, an ambulance, a crane, and a broadcasting truck—with five different parts of each truck properly labeled. The answer to each inquiring refrain of “Whose truck is this?” is revealed under a gatefold, engaging the reader in an informative guessing game about trucks and their operators.
With lyrical (and factual!) text by New York Times bestselling author Toni Buzzeo, and the expertly stylized art of Jim Datz, this sturdily constructed board book is perfect for curious and playful young readers.
“Datz includes a solid mix of male and female workers in a variety of skin colors. A last-page twist reminds readers that toy trucks can be just as fun as the real thing.”—Publishers Weekly
