Review: This is fundamentally a good book for kids. My son loves reading about trucks and enjoys this book every time I read it. For that alone I'm tempted to give it five stars. It has two drawbacks though, each of which cost it a star. First, the editors insisted on digitally adding a narrator named Slick, a guy in his late 20's who says he drives a Big Rig. Slick appears throughout the book standing in front of trucks, dancing on top of them, and generally being annoying. He adds nothing to the book except a narration which is entirely unnecessary. See Trucks' sister volume, Caterpillar to Butterfly, for a 5-star book without adding a host, "Charlie the Caterpillar" Second, the author occasionally use vocabulary which is not appropriate. Insisting a truck has "major mojo", for example. The last time I heard the word Mojo was in the second Austin Powers movie, and it didn't make any sense there either. Ultimately, Trucks is worth buying for any vehicle-loving kid. Aside from the usual truck types -- dump, garbage, fire, transport, etc., Trucks includes a page on a million dollar dump truck big enough to hold 20 school busses. Any children's book that makes me stare in awe will certainly do the same thing for kids.
