From the Publisher

K-Gr 2—This series will excite construction-truck enthusiasts. Each slim title opens with information to guide grown-ups in supporting readers and building context. The clear and simple prose in each title outlines the truck's size, parts, functions, and appearance. Throughout, texts pose engaging critical-thinking questions, some of which are answered by high-quality images. Readers will enjoy the photos that depict trucks in action; occasionally, close-up, cutaway views within larger photos focus on specific details. Where workers are portrayed, they're gender and racially diverse. Special features after the body of the narrative encourage readers to synthesize what they've read. VERDICT The simple yet sophisticated approach to nonfiction for young students makes this series highly recommended for schools and public libraries.
