Tonka:
Highway Trucks
By Justine Korman
Review by: Yvonne
Gaudet
This
story takes us aboard a transport truck driven by a lady named Martha,
and today is her first day on the job! Of course Martha has undergone
many hours of Truck Driving school before being allowed to drive. The
book explains about the different parts of the truck, like the ring
shaped collar called the fifth wheel, which joins the tractor to the
trailer. We then travel with Martha to her destination and along the way
Martha sees all kinds of trucks. Martha even stops along the way at a
truck stop where she and her truck refuel. At the end of her day, Martha
goes to sleep in the sleeper of her truck. Tomorrow will be full of more
adventures. Along the daily route Martha travels she sees many different
types of trucks, tankers, flatbeds, and even log trucks. The book
explains a little bit about each of these trucks, What they are used for
and what they are called. Very informative for every little guy. I would
say this book is good for ages 2-8 and all other truck drivers, whether
real or pretend!
