I’m the Bin Lorry Driver
Publisher: Oxford University Press
It’s time to hop aboard the bin lorry and follow a day in the life of a bin lorry driver! This entertaining and interactive picture book invites you to jump into the driver’s seat, so strap on your seatbelt and away you go. From putting on the right gear and pulling the right levers to tipping all the recycling at the lorry’s end destination, children are immersed in the action of the job.
The lovely bold illustrations and text are laid out in a way that emphasises the action and fun – there’s a dashboard at the bottom of the page so children can pretend to operate the wheel, press the buttons and pull the gears. Along the way, there are also various text prompts to encourage early learning skills like counting, colour recognition and basic shapes.
A brilliant picture book for vehicle-loving children and those who might find it hard to sit still during reading time. With labels for lorry parts and objects, as well as lots of sound words, this is a book which makes early learning both fun and engaging.

Books about people who help us, for age 0-5
Discovering people in our community who help us (and their exciting vehicles!) is a key part of children's early years. As their worlds broaden to people and things outside the home, so they learn how some people have jobs that keep us safe and well. These are some of our favourite books to engage and excite young children on this topic.
