ISBN 0439639204 – 5 stars. Leave it to Tonka to take board books to a whole new, nearly indestructible level. The book has a mere 8 pages and absolutely no storyline whatsoever – and kids will love it.

Each page shows a truck in action and tells what it does – demolishing, lifting, etc. Moveable parts, not just the usual flaps, make this a much more interactive book than you might expect.

The flaps that do exist are much more delicate than most, since they are basically glued in place show more and are made of thin cardboard. Those may tear off in small hands easily, but the other moving parts are sturdy and the pages are twice as thick as normal board book pages to accommodate the inset parts. Tonka tough, for sure!
