Five Trucks by Brian Floca- OPTIONAL

Floca, Brian Five Trucks. PICTURE BOOK. Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2014. $17.99.  Airports are filled with airplanes of all shapes and sizes.  But did you know that there are also very important trucks of all shapes and sizes that have important jobs that need to be completed before you can begin takeoff? This book explores five different trucks with five different drivers who need to transport food, help with luggage, and check for safety on the airplane. For little ones who love trucks, this is a fun, informative book. For those not into trucks or not planning to travel on an airplane soon, the book could be less exciting. The book could be used in a unit on transportation or jobs/professions. EL (K-3).  OPTIONAL.  Reviewer: SL.
