Trucks hold a child's attention because they are big, noisy and everywhere, and this pop-up title gives several of them a moment to stand up off the page.
Fire engines, tippers and delivery vehicles each get a spread with a paper construction and a line or two of simple text. Handling the pop-up is part of the reading, so a restless toddler has something to do while the words are read, and the vehicle names slip into vocabulary almost by accident.
Points of interest:
• Several vehicle types, each with its own pop-up spread
• Text kept to a sentence or so per page for young listeners
• Thick pages suited to enthusiastic little hands
• Vehicles named as a child would encounter them on the road
Well matched to toddlers and preschoolers fascinated by vehicles, and to anyone choosing an interactive gift, published by Wonder House Books and sold through Boipoka.
