Product Description
by Hope Vestergaard (Author), David Slonim (Illustrator)
Each truck and big machine in these enticing rhyming poems is different -- and little readers are invited to find a vehicle that's like them.
Sixteen boisterous, rhyming poems -- each one highlighting the job and personality of a different vehicle, from a backhoe to an ambulance to a snowplow -- invite young children to meet their favorite trucks face-to-face. Cheerful illustrations show each one in action, digging (or dozing, or dumping) away. Engaging visual details like an anxious turtle crossing the street just ahead of a steamroller are sure to keep preschoolers poring over the pages as they consider the question, "Trucks as far as eyes can see. . . . Which truck would you like to be?"Author Biography
