Trucks Go Pop!

by Bob Staake
Illustrated by Bob Staake



      Librarians say that they simply cannot have too many truck books for young children. Children love trucks and this book has them - in three bright dimensions. As the young reader turns the pages, milk trucks drive across the scene, digger trucks click and clack, firemen dangle from fire ladders, all in funny, whimsical style. The book also comes with a big, bright truck poster to add an extra dash of "Wow!" for any little boy. The charm in the book is all in the pop, color and humor, as this is not an informational truck book, but more of an imaginative look at the fun and flash of trucks. The illustrations, though detailed, struck me as a bit sturdier than many pop-ups I've seen, offering a bit longer lifespan in the hands of excited young readers - this would definitely be a great gift for truck-loving preschoolers.
