Monster Machines
Ages 3^-6. Get ready to hear little kids (okay, mostly boys) going "vroom, vroom" when they get their hands on this. In signature DK style--oversize, with plenty of pictures in color--the book takes on, as the cover text puts it, "the biggest, heaviest, chunkiest machines on the move." Included are the tow truck, tractor, jumbo jet, icebreaker, fire engine, tractor trailer, and giant dump truck, among others. Each two-page spread opens to one of the monster machines, which seems to be jumping out of the page. It is surrounded by smaller photos and nuggets of information. Even though this is aimed at young kids, older students will probably be sneaking a peek, too.Ilene Cooper
