What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a straightforward, factual book about machines and their jobs.
Ideal Reader
A preschool or early elementary child (ages 3-7) who is deeply fascinated by vehicles, especially large trucks. This child points out every cement mixer, garbage truck, and semi-truck they see and constantly asks "What does that one do?"
Parent Prep
No prep needed. The book is direct and self-explanatory. It can be read cold. The only preparation a parent might need is to get ready for more questions about different types of cargo or where the trucks are going. The parent's child has just spent a long car ride yelling "TRUCK!" every thirty seconds. The parent wants to lean into this interest, give their child the correct vocabulary (it's not just a "truck," it's a "tanker truck"), and explain why these trucks are on the road.
