Description
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.

.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.
