Garbage Trucks (Wild About Wheels)

<p>Did you know that the average American produces about 4.5 pounds of waste every day? That’s a lot of garbage! Garbage trucks are hard at work picking up this garbage. They carry the trash to landfills and other places. Young readers will learn about the types of garbage trucks, their main parts, and how they work.\nFrom School Library Journal\nGr 1-3-Readers eager to study up on vehicles they see around their community will enjoy this series. Filled with vibrant illustrations, each title describes a day in the life of a helper vehicle. While some (city buses) transport people, others (delivery trucks, snowplows, garbage trucks, and tow trucks) move things. Safety vehicles (fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars) round out the solid series with descriptions of their purpose, as well as views inside and outside of each. Prompts in the back encourage readers to try their hand at designing vehicles or the routes vehicles might take through a city. The best prompt, in Snowplows, encourages readers to experiment with how the blades on a snowplow work. Filled with pictures of these well-known vehicles, each volume offers readers an opportunity to get well acquainted with the transportation they admire. VERDICT Fine additions to your collection if you're lacking in books about vehicles for this age group.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
