"Beep Beep Beep " Meet Blue. A muddy country road is no match for
this little pick up--that is, until he gets stuck while pushing a
dump truck out of the muck. Luckily, Blue has made a pack of farm
animal friends along his route. And they're willing to whatever it
takes to get their pal back on the road.
Filled with truck sounds and animals noises, here is a rollicking
homage to the power of friendship and the rewards of helping
others.
Each bright vehicle has four real wheels to little drivers can race
them everywhere. Full color. 6.5 x 3 (approx.).
Fans of cars, trains, and construction vehicles will love this
bedtime board book about a little bulldozer who won't go to sleep.
All kinds of vehicles take breaks, naps, and snoozes--but not
bulldozers! Dozers don't need to go to bed, at least that's what
the bulldozer who narrates this humorous book thinks. The
self-assured dozer brags that it doesn't need sleep, but gets
sleepier and sleepier as it lists all the other vehicles that do
need rest: race cars make pit stops, trains stop in their tracks,
tractors hit the hay, and more. The conclusion to Dozers Don't
Doze, in which the dozer ultimately dozes, will entertain little
ones and please parents; the illustrations of sleepy machines may
even lull children to sleep despite their own efforts to resist
dozing.
A perfect book for little digger-lovers! Trucks and tractors, fire
engines and helicopters--they all like to work hard. But after a
long, happy day of beep-beeping and vroom-vrooming, even the
busiest engines need to rest. This bright, bouncy, noise-filled
book brings together all the vehicles that children adore.
This book comes with 10 easy-to-do experiments and 230 exciting
pictures. All aboard for a journey into the history and technology
of rail travel! It covers everything from the 'iron horses' of the
Wild West and Stephenson's Rocket to the luxurious Orient Express
and today's high-speed vehicles. Step-by-step projects look at the
technology behind trains - learn about forces and motion, build a
bridge, construct a tunnel, and even make your own model locomotive
and railway track. Stunning photographs and detailed illustrations
evoke the spirit of train travel. Railways revolutionized the
day-to-day lives of ordinary people around the world. This book
charts the development of trains, from the early horse-drawn wagons
used in mines and the first steam locomotives to the comfort and
convenience of modern, streamlined passenger trains. Discover how
the first underground railways were designed and constructed, and
explore the latest high-tech designs. This book is a treasure trove
of information for the young railway enthusiast and is ideal for
families and school groups to explore together.
Growling engines, huge tires, and daring drivers all come together

shaking trucks impress audiences everywhere.

5- to 7-year-olds. It includes safety instructions for children and
guidance notes for grown-ups. Why is ice slippery? What are gears?

your balance? What is wind power? All of these questions and many
others are answered in this exciting book, which explores the
different aspects of forces and movement. Use pulling and pushing
power to move toy trucks, make a lever, and use sandpaper to
demonstrate friction. This book introduces younger readers to
science in a structured but interesting way. Fun activities

around them, and complement the scientific points outlined in the
