[ 책 소개 ]

#1 New York Times 베스트셀러인 "Goodnight Goon"과 "Eat Pete"의 저자인 마이클 렉스의 또 하나의 대표작입니다.

다양한 중장비와 트럭들을 매우 사실적인 세밀화 그림으로 보여주면서, 각각의 중장비들과 트럭들이 하는 일들을 자세히 소개하는 책입니다.

어린 아이가 놀랍게도 모든 중장비들을 운전해봤다고 하네요.

2살때는 레미콘 트럭,
3살때는 굴착기와 소방트럭,
4살때는 크레인,
5살때는 탱커트럭, 이사트럭, 콤바인과 트랙터, 도록포장트럭, 지게차, 잭햄머 크레인, 불도저
6살 때는 제설트럭, 덤프트럭, 쓰레기 압축트럭....

그리고 7살인 지금, 그 아이의 방은 위에 말한 장난감 중장비와 트럭들로 가득찬 주자장같이 보입니다.^^

알고보니 장난감이었다는 마지막의 반전이 재미있습니다. 하지만 각각의 페이지에 실린 중장비와 트럭들은 매우 사실적으로 그려졌으며, 문장은 간결하면서도 정확합니다.

Book Description
New York Times bestselling illustrator Mike Rex’s vivid, vehicle-filled scenes are the perfect match for this enthusiastic celebration of big rigs and big imaginations.
Bulldozers and back-hoes, pavers and plows, trailers and tractors--the world is filled with so many types of trucks! Imagine the fun you could have if you could drive them all! And what if you could bring your best friends along with you? Hop along for a thrilling ride! This playful romp is sure to delight truck lovers everywhere!


The New York Times
“Sometimes it seems there are as many truck books published as there are actual trucks on the Interstate, with most about as subtle as an 18-wheeler’s horn blast. But this smoothly rhyming ode to heavy equipment . . . is a refreshing treat. . . . Rex’s brightly colored, slightly rounded vehicles strike a kid-friendly balance between realistic and toy-like.”


Kirkus Reviews *Starred Review*
“A delightful ode to trucks goes above and beyond the usual churning, wrecking, and pounding. Cheery rhyming text. . . . All the favorites are here, with some mechanical monsters lauded less often in books of this sort. . . . Friend’s rhymes produce a one-of-a-kind mighty litany of machines. These words pair neatly with Rex’s art; his cartoonish style renders each vehicle with a meticulousness that will meet the approval of even the strictest vehicle enthusiast. Lucky indeed are the kids who get to indulge in this splendid little wish-fulfillment daydream.”


Publishers Weekly
“A cheeky poem of a picture book, in which a boy proudly describes his prowess as he helms several trucks, trailers, and construction vehicles. Humorously colloquial rhymes are well-matched to the mischief on display as the boy - accompanied by a turtle, penguin, and pig - engages in construction and demolition, occasionally saving the day. . . . Rex’s (Goodnight Goon) digitally colored ink cartoons are full of vehicular action and mechanical details, from the dirt-caked treads of a wrecking ball to the gleam of an 18-wheeler’s mesh grille, cast by the truck’s headlights.”


Booklist
“The rhythmic, rhyming text has just enough detail to keep kids engaged without slowing down the pace. . . . This colorful picture book is prime material for kids yearning to tackle tough jobs with a little help from big machines.”


Vanity Fair
"Targets the mad-about-the-backhoe-and-big-rig set . . . a wrecking ball to delight kids and destroy boredom. Dream big, kids."
