Alphabet Trucks by Samantha R. Vamos- ADVISABLE



Vamos, Samantha R. Alphabet Trucks.  Illustrated by Ryan O’Rourke.  32 pgs.  Charlesbridge Pub Inc, 2013. $14.95.  PICTURE BOOK.  F           or every letter of the alphabet there is a different kind of truck in this informational rhyming book.  “I is for ice-cream truck, with frozen treats to taste.  J is for junk truck removing scrap and waste.  Day and night, just watch and see.  Trucks work hard from A to Z.”  This is a great alphabet book.  It could be used as a springboard for a class ABC book and on any unit on the alphabet.  It could also be used in a unit on transportation. The pictures are colorful and fun.  The rhyming is fun.  Kids will love looking at all 26 types of trucks.  Pre-K.  EL (K-3).  ADVISABLE. Reviewer: SL.
