Little Truck by Taro Gomi A bright pink little truck (who is adorable) climbs a really steep hill (with help from a bigger truck) then goes home, sleeping on Big Truck’s truck bed. Perfect text and illustration with the reassuring message of doing your own thing and that your parent will never be far behind.

Tons of Trucks by Sue Fliess and Betsy Snyder I LOVE this book! Big trucks, small trucks, dump trucks, tow trucks, and all kinds of other trucks can be found in this playful touch-and-move book. A backhoe scoops and digs, a cement truck spins, a tar truck oozes sticky tar, and tabs pull up and out to reveal surprises. Filled with vibrant art and adorable characters, this book gives a child everything he’s looking for when he presses his face against the fence at a construction site.
Trucks by Byron Barton At an early age, my oldest daughter loved all of Byron Barton’s books. His graphic style artwork and simple text appealed to her 1- and 2-year-old sensibilities. It will for many of your kids, too. Perfect for young readers!
My Big Truck Book by Roger Priddy Photographs of trucks teach kids the names of construction trucks, farm trucks, and town trucks.
Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle, illustrated by Jill McElmurry Little Blue Truck is one of those books that is practically perfect. Perfect, jaunty rhymes. A fun, silly story that is even better when read aloud. Engaging illustrations. It all adds up to a kid-favorite farm story of friendship.
Truck Driver Tom by Monica Wellington You’ll find so many vehicles to notice — over 60! As Tom passes farms, goes up mountains, travels on highways, and over a bridge, kids are exposed to different geographic and regional features. Tom delivers his fruits and vegetables to the city store, helping kids understand the food to table process, then takes a rest in his truck bed until the next day’s delivery. A two-page spread in the back of the book shares the many vehicles for you to find within the book. I personally love the double-trailer truck with butterflies on the side.

Duck in the Truck by Jez Alborough Duck’s truck gets stuck in the muck all yucky and brown. Frog offers to push and so do Sheep and Goat. The friends come together to get the job done even though Duck is quite grumpy with them. Great for discussion. And good use of repeated sentence structure… “This is…”
Mighty Truck by Chris Barton, illustrated by Troy Cummings Clarence is struck by lightning in the car wash and develops Mighty Truck powers in this truck-filled adventure with imagination.
Old McDonald Had a Truck by Steve Goetz, illustrated by Eda Kaban Calling all truck fans — this is the book for you! Because Old McDonald has a lot of trucks — a bulldozer, front loader, motor grader, dump truck, and more. E-I-E-I-O! This is sure to be a family favorite read and sing along book.
Little Taco Trucks by Tanya Valentine and Jorge Martin Little Taco Truck used to be the only food truck but when one truck after another join him in his area, he gets upset and the feels pushed out. This picture book is about making space literally and metaphorically for new friendships and flavors.
Old MacDonald’s Things That Go by Jane Clarke, illustrated by Migy Blanco I know so many little boys who just love anything to do with trucks. Which is why I think this vehicle book will appeal to them — maybe not as much to the parent reading it because there are a trillion verses but . . . we do what we must, right? In this Old MacDonald version, it’s about a farmer who, you guessed it, loved things that go. “And on that farm, he had a truck. He loved things that go! With a vroom-vroom here and a vroom-vroom there. Here a vroom, there a vroom, everywhere a vroom-vroom.”
Hooray, it’s Garbage Day! by Eric Ode, illustrated by Gareth Llewhellin Cheerful kids watch for the garbage truck, then help clean up and recycle. “Three garbage cans sit side by side. Four bedroom windows open wide. Five children wave and give a cheer to say that Garbage Day is here!” Readers will enjoy the rhyming text and repetition of “Hooray, it’s garbage day!” as well as learn about counting and recycling.
