How It Works: Recycling Truck explores the fascinating world of recycling trucks, which are very helpful machines! But how do they work?

This chunky board book is specially designed for little hands, featuring interactive pages to grasp and explore. Curious young ones will love learning all about a recycling truck - how bin workers empty special bins into its tank on a journey with lots of stops, how noisy it can be (clink, clunk, crush!), and how the truck takes the old materials it has collected to a recycling centre to be cleaned, sorted, and used again to make something new!

Packed with accessible information, this is the perfect book for vehicle-mad little ones.
