On the Road

From rush hour on a busy city street to harvest time down on the farm, the Wheels at Work series provides a close-up look at the world of hardworking trucks, buses, ambulances, tractors, combines and more. With simple narrative sentences and vibrant, detailed artwork, these books put kids behind the wheels of some formidable machines. The vehicles they see every day — in the city or in the country — are brought to life on each appealing page.

Kids can read about a tanker trailer, car carrier, sky crane, pay loader, paving machine and cement truck.

This book in the Wheels at Work series is an intriguing, up-close look at tractor trailers, wrecker trucks, paving machines and other big trucks on the road.

Publishers Weekly

Part of the new Wheels at Work series, the paper-over-board book At a Construction Site by Don Kilby introduces young readers to the machines needed to demolish an old building and erect a new one. Thickly applied acrylic paint and concise text lay out everything from the crane with its wrecking ball to the forklift delivering new materials to the lunch truck carrying sustenance for hungry workers. On the Road, also by Kilby, follows the same format. Each title is also available in an edition that includes a foldout play area and four truck magnets. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
