hiding in plain sight on excavators, bulldozers, cranes, and more.
And after the toddlers have browsed the pages to their heart's
content, a final note to parents offers enriching, age-appropriate
activities to keep building their child's foundational learning
skills. With repetitive, easy-to-remember verse from the
award-winning author of Nat the Cat Can Sleep Like That, Victoria
Allenby's Shape Up, Construction Trucks! is a highly visual shape
book that digs deep. It earned starred reviews from School Library
Journal, which called it, "clear, crisp, clean, and concise," and
from Kirkus Reviews, which declared it was "sure to be a hit."

This fun book in the shape of a Motorcycle has wheels so little drivers can race them anywhere. The big, tough wheels actually grip, and the beautiful, full color photographs inside are captioned with names to make learning fun. Whether your little road-runners love school buses or sporty cars, hogs or 18-wheelers, there's a Wheelie book to take them speeding out of the store! Vroom, vroom, vroooooooooom!
The longest ship ever built, the heaviest digger and the largest
aeroplane, the world's first working motorcar, and its most
expensive one. What machines like these have in common is that they
all say a lot about the inventiveness and imagination of the people
who conceived and created them. Some of them are useful, others are
just a bit of fun, but the best ones are truly magnificent, and
fascinating to discover. Designed to drive faster, fly higher,
carry more cargo or - in the case of space rockets - travel
hundreds of thousands of miles to places no-one has ever been
before, not every idea has worked but the best have been inspired
and inspirational, and in a few cases they have gone on to change
the world. It is the human stories and atmospheric art that make
this a book to actually read and delight in.
