Amazing Pop-Up Big Trucks

Robert Crowther. Candlewick, $17.99 (10p) ISBN 978-0-7636-5587-7

In this companion to Amazing Pop-Up Big Machines, Crowther offers formidable pop-ups of a car transporter, a cement mixer, a monster truck, a "rubbish" truck, and truck trains. Each spread contains a description of the featured vehicle and its primary function, while flaps offer photographs along with additional information about how the trucks operate: for example, a grapple truck is pictured loading "oversized rubbish," and another flap reveals monster truck "Bigfoot 14" breaking a long jump record in 1999 by sailing over an airplane. The brightly colored vehicles, which include working door/window flaps, and real-life details should give truck enthusiasts a gratifying peek into the world of big rigs. Ages 3%E2%80%93up. (Sept.)
