Pop-up Trucks

Sarah Powell, illus. by Holly Ong-Seng. Macmillan/Priddy, $9.99 (10p) ISBN 978-0-312-51512-6

A tractor, van, digger, fire engine, and big rig lift out from the pages of this friendly primer. Crisp digital artwork shows farmers, movers, construction workers, and others hard at work, while rhymed couplets and casual asides provide information about each vehicle and its users ("If you hear the siren sound then stand aside,/ Heroes are coming in their speedy red ride!"). Moving wheels and other interactive elements add interest, and the blue semi in the final scene is a showstopper, bearing down on readers as it emerges grill-first from the spread. Simultaneously available: Pop-up Dinosaurs. Ages 3%E2%80%935. (Oct.)
