This is quite interesting, having the focus on how trucks and equipment make Christmas happen.

With the tree lighting in town this weekend, I thought the preschoolers might like this book. The boys did like all the trucks in the book. Everyone liked the pop-up at the end of the book. A good way to start the season of reading lots of Christmas/holiday books.
