Smash That Trash!

This hands-on, interactive, ten-page baby board book will be an instant hit with young readers who like trucks and transportation. Cleverly designed and created with colorful illustrations of each different type of truck, the trucks come to life and engage the reader immediately. The whimsical illustrations convey each truck's special and unique personality, helping children to understand the job of each truck. Gabriella the Dump Truck has work to do and as she makes her way around town, young readers experience many different aspects of a variety of work sites. For example, when Gabriella, the bright pink truck with a yellow bow on the top of her cab, drives onto the construction work area, young readers can turn the cleverly designed wheel on that page to reveal all the things that Gabriella finds at the construction site. Then when Gabriella vrooms up to the fire station, readers once again can turn the wheel to identify equipment that is found at a firehouse. Three award winning artists—David Shannon, Loren Long, and David Gordon—collaborated to create the wonderful illustrations and interesting moving parts on each page of this book. Not only will young readers enjoy manipulating the cleverly designed wheels, but they will also learn additional information while reading this delightful book and enjoying the manipulative features which cement their understanding of the text. Trucktown comes to life because of the distinct visual style of this appealing hands-on book. Young readers will want to read it again and again. Children who enjoy this board book will also enjoy the other in the "truck-town" series and they will enjoy going to the website which is noted on the back cover to find more fun and games about these wonderfully distinct trucks and their unique jobs. This children's book will be an absolute favorite with young truck lovers! Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
