Trucks

by Andrew Barber

Published 1 January 2001
Oxford Reds is our first major superseries for newly confident readers. Each book is on a real life subject, with a simple lively text and richly coloured, realistic illustrations. Did you know the cab of a long-distance truck is like a caravan , with bunk-beds, a sink, a cooker - even a television! Trucks mix concrete. Trucks clean the streets. Trucks put out fires. Stunt trucks do wheelies and drive over piles of cars!
