Product Description

Product Description
Keep on trucking with Amazing Machines Take to the road with our favourite animal characters to discover lots of different trucks: a noisy dustcart, a big cement mixer, a tanker, articulated lorries and more. Then peep inside the cab where the driver sits before popping off for a cup of tea in a transport cafe! This zany picture book is full of rhyming fun to delight all machine-mad children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't recommend highly enough, 9 May 2009
By V. Thornton (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We have most of series after my 3.5 YO son recieved some initially as a birthday present. Since then we have increased our collection!

I love that the language really puhses on my son's vocab, and therefore his imagination, and that the words and sentences are used so effectively in the well-paced alliterative rhyme too. The writing flows off the tongue and the pages fly by.

I really like the added page at the end going through some of the main machines/parts mentioned earlier in the book and giving a brief description of what they do.

Would totally recommend this to anyone!!!!!
