	Get to Work, Trucks! Don Carter (2002) , 32 pages Audience: Toddlers Preschool Category: Concept - Colors Concept - Numbers Things That Go (Cars, Trucks, Planes)
Request this book from the Library From the beginning of the day to the end of the day, a crew is working with heavy machinery to build a bridge. A turtle stops the production until it gets moved aside. Can you name the different trucks? This book offers many ways to share it with children. The colorful trucks can be used for reviewing colors or counting. One could focus on the beginning, middle and end of the story. What happens at the beginning? Middle? And end? The illustrations are photos of three-dimensional scenes made from foam board, plaster and acrylic paint and look like frosting on a birthday cake! Librarian review written by Emilia

	Clickety Clack Rob and Amy Spence (1999) , 32 pages Audience: Toddlers Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Animals Early Literacy: Phonological Awareness Rhyming Books Things That Go (Cars, Trucks, Planes)
Request this book from the Library A train gets more and more crowded as animals get on at each stop. This is a great participatory book with the recurring phrase: "the little black train going down the track. Clickety clack, clickety clack." Everyone reading the book can say that phrase together on cue. This is a cumulative story with more passengers being added to the train at each stop. This one is lots of fun to read together. Librarian review written by Mollie

Request this book from the Library Here is a great opportunity to make train sounds! The little boy in this story has a train set in his room and it chugs his toys all around. Soon, the toys are big and the boy is small as he becomes part of the world of the train. This is the perfect story for train fans with lots of rhyming and fun sounds. Librarian review written by Gwen
