101 Trucks

Summary: A lift-the-flap book featuring a traffic jam of big rigs
Review: One hundred and one trucks are on the move in this lift-the-flap book featuring a traffic jam of big rigs filled with 101 movie-making props, costumes and other tools of the film trade. "Gigantic cranes, a stunt-performing plane, windows and drapes, boots and capes, a variety of trees, performing fleas..." The list goes on and on as tots peek inside 101 trucks carrying rhyming loads on five two-page spreads. Even by the final page ("Rollin' in...Looking good...the stars are out...Hollywood!"), little ones will won't likely understand the common thread uniting all the odd contents, but what does that really matter? The fun is in the rhythm, rhymes and hands-on discovery, and the intrinsic charm of a toddler lift-the-flap book that shift gears to avoid wallowing in standard cutsey-wootsey tactics. Keep on truckin'!
