Tons of Trucks
"Tons of trucks before our eyes,
in every color, shape, and size! Strong trucks Big trucks Scoop and dig trucks!" Tons of Trucks is an interactive rhyming truck book, from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Children's Books, released July, 2012. Big trucks, small trucks, dump trucks, tow trucks, and all kinds of other trucks can be found in this playful touch-and-move book. A backhoe scoops and digs, a cement truck spins, a tar truck oozes sticky tar, and tabs pull up and out to reveal surprises.The trucks eventually slow down for a rest, where little hands can lift the flaps to see animals snuggling up for sleepy-time—under a rising moon. Filled with vibrant artand adorable characters, this book gives a child everything he’s looking for when he presses his face against the fence at a construction site! Tons of Trucks received a Letter of Commendation from the 2008 SCBWI Barbara Karlin Grant for Picture Book Writing. Tons of Trucks is now available! Watch the animated trailer for some vehicle-moving fun.
