Monster Trucks by Ian Graham

Monster Trucks by Ian Graham
(Kindergarten - Grade 2)

Monster Trucks, a new release from the QED Mighty Machines series, is an eye-catching winner for young vehicle enthusiasts and reluctant readers. The bright red cover, gigantic truck wheels and flame-painted hood beckon to those looking for a colorful introduction to these unique trucks. Each different type of monster truck - Bigfoot, car crushers, racers, road giants, miners and even NASA's giants - earn a two-page spread of their own complete with large, vivid photographs, easy-to-read text, and bold words defined in a glossary at the end of the book. This book was a surprising treat, even for me who had no initial interest in monster trucks except for my son's wild love for all things with wheels.
