For young truck aficionados who are ready to move beyond fire trucks and dump trucks, Tonka Trucks Night and Day is the answer! Trucks are busy doing amazing things at all times of the day and night. Learn about animal-rescue trucks, front loaders, ice resurfacers, manure spreaders, seed drills, house movers, pavement patchers, line painters, bookmobiles, race-car carriers, and much more. This oversized picture book is divided into sections, including "On the Farm," "At the Ski Area," "On the Highway," and "Airport Trucks." Each section describes in brief but thorough detail the functions and capacities of the vehicle in question. The friendly full-page pictures balance the somewhat sophisticated technical language of the text, but kids who love trucks will be thrilled to learn all the details of their favorite big movers and shakers. Every chapter includes a fact box with an interesting tidbit, such as this: "Where does trash go? Trucks dump most trash at landfills, huge areas where garbage piles up and up. Eventually, the pile will be covered with dirt and planted with trees or grass. Some old landfills are now parks or even ski areas!" (Ages 7 to 10) --Emilie Coulter
