I LIKED this book-it has lots of pictures of trucks and trailers and forklifts and loggers and tankers and tippers and snowploughs and car transporters, and it shows what each one does. My favourite was the Australian roadtrain my dad says its designed to catch kangaroos.
The pictures are big and colourful, and best of all the cover is strong enough to use as a ramp for my toys. But why call them trucks when every Thomas the Tank Engine reader knows they are lorries?
My dad got quite excited when he saw this book, though he grumbled a bit when he saw that most of the pictures were of American and Australian trucks and the only picture of a British curtainsided trailer has a bonneted Kenworth pulling it! Still, he spent ages making truck noises while he was reading it, so he must have enjoyed it really...
