review 1: The book description calls this book for ages 3 to 5 and I fully agree.A beginning reader to an intermediate reader could handle this book. Thinking of my 6 year old who loves to read, he would definitely still read it although I know it would be easy for him.The words are big and there aren’t a ton of words to the page.The illustrations are super cute and would definitely capture the eye of younger children.The book is cute and gives an ‘inside’ look into the big rig trucks you pass on the road and lets the kids know what the big rigs do and where they may be going.I definitely recommend for the younger kids (great for a preschool or kindergarten classroom too!)
review 2: While there are a lot of things to love about this picture book about an 18-wheeler... more big rig, two things that really stand out for me include: the terminology and the sound effects. This book introduces young children to the work, mechanics, and terminology of trucking. The word 'cargo' is explained in the text, and the other terms are defined in a glossary at the back of the book. While adults will love the fact that this book helps expand a child's vocabulary, children will love sounding the horn along with the truck throughout the story. I can already see myself going "URRRNNT-URRRNNNT!" in storytime now! (February 2014) less
