  What child hasn't seen heavy machines in action and been enthralled by their operations? Well, now they can bring that excitement into their homes without even tracking dirt across the carpet. Big Rigs explains the inner workings of attention-getting movers, diggers, and flyers such as fire trucks, submarines, tunnel-boring machines, and helicopters. Using analogies to explain intricate procedures to young engineers-in-training -- the large arm of a crane is a fishing rod, and a potato-masher packs trash into the back of a garbage truck -- this book is a great way to introduce kids to these massive machines. Full-color illustrations, including a tear-out wall poster, complement fun, accessible text, and show readers how their favorite big rigs work.
