The biggest strongest weirdest and wackiest trucks in the world zoom across the colourful pages of this sensational photographic book. Imagine a truck that can rear up and do a wheelie and then move forward 400 metres! Or think about the formidable length (and width) of a truck that is pulling a house. How about climbing up to the cab of a dump truck - a climb of over 4 metres? Well open the pages of this book and enter the incredible world of trucks - from the everyday weight-carrier to those vehicles whose size and power are of jaw-dropping proportions. The large format means plenty of big full-colour photographs of all types of trucks. Each breath-taking spread is like a poster with clear pictures that present each truck from a variety of different angles whilst highlighting any unusual or distinguishing features. In addition a gatefold spread pulls out to reveal a heavy recovery truck. This awesome vehicle is fully annotated with incredible attention to detail. The striking photographs are supported by lively informative text to provide children with a fuller understanding of the way these trucks work - and every photograph is annotated in full. With spectacular design and photography and detailed comprehensive information the Big Book of Trucks will outshine any other children's book on the subject and prove universally fascinating.
