Summary: Nice large illustrations of a variety of big trucks
Review: I picked up this book as an impulse buy "for my daughter." She seems to enjoy it a lot because of the large, colorful pictures of trucks -- including a mobile home toter, a giant dump truck, trial truck, and a concept truck. Each picture is well captioned with interesting side notes. For example, the book points out the concrete truck's drum rotates both directions, one to mix the concrete (and prevent it from setting) and the other to pour the mixture out. It's one of her favorites and she's memorized all of the names (listening to a 24 month old say "mobile home toter" is pretty funny). As she gets older, she'll have more appreciation for the footnotes. I also appreciate how the book displays trucks from different locales. For example, we don't see any "Road Trains" or "Trial Trucks" in the 'States.
