Wake Up, Trucks!

Five trucks wake up in the morning, ready to have some breakfast and head off to the building site to build some houses! First, of course, they need something to eat, but it’s not bacon and eggs: trucks need fuel! 

Once at work, the trucks get tugging and towing, rolling roads, carrying heavy loads, digging a pit, moving wood for floor and doors, lifting on roofs and putting the windows in the houses! It’s a very busy day, and when the sun sets, it’s time to head home. When the trucks get home, there's a spray clean to get all the day’s mud and muck off, a quick brush and buff of the lights, and then it's time to say night-night.  

This lovely, bright book with a fun rhyming text will delight little ones who love vehicles, diggers and trucks. There’s lots of detail here about all the fun things trucks do – focused on a building site as a type of workplace that will interest little ones, with the clear, understandable outcome of building houses. 

The language is fun with lots of great vocabulary-building words, and the fact that the text is rhyming means that little ones can start to recite the story after multiple readings, helping their own language acquisition – and enjoying the story of a day in the life of a truck.
