K-3Spot Mighty Machines series.
Each slim early reader opens with a photo glossary highlighting four truck-related vocabulary words, accompanied by instructions: "Look for these words and pictures as you read." The following spreads are organized by these keywords, with bright stock photos and a smattering of basic facts. The volumes lack substance but effectively reinforce the meaning of a small number of relevant terms. Also available in Spanish. Review covers these Spot Mighty Machines titles: Big Rigs, Fire Trucks, Garbage Trucks, Pickup Trucks, Tanker Trucks, and Tow Trucks.
