Review

This early reader is all about trucks. It does a great job of introducing the reader to a number of truck types you might see. Each type of truck has a photo of it and a paragraph explaining it. The explanations are short but really do a good job of describing the truck, perfect for a new reader. A nice feature is that the name of the truck being talked about is always typed up in italics making it stand out from the rest of the text. The part about truckers still using CB radios and then not explaining what they are was not great, plus, most truckers don’t use CBs much anymore. Also, some of the photos were dated. Still this will be popular with readers wanting books on trucks.

Overall Book Score: good
