Reviews

[Taylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one is on perpetual loan to Arthur from the library. In fact, we almost always have one of Ms. Bingham's many "Big Book of _____" our. Trucks, Monster Machines, Trains, Planes, Cars, Trains, Rescue Vehicles. They're all popular here at truck central, but this is THE favorite. It will be under the Yule Tree so that the library can have it's copy back.

Really, these are huge books with wonderful pictures and just enough information to be fun and easy to read to your lover of 'things that go'.

Frank was a fan of this, though we didn't spend a whole lot of time with this.
