Have You Seen My Daddy's 18 Wheeler? Professor of Geography Russell King

This is an interactive children's book with colorful pictures of 247 big tractors pulling dry or refrigerator vans. Together the tractor and van combine to make up what is called an 18-wheeler. The 247 firms have over 148,600 tractor/trailers. Children and bored adult passengers use the book to search for and get points when they spot the 18-wheeler. Maybe they spot it on the interstate, or maybe at the travel stop when your whole family stops for food and fuel, or maybe they spot it as the driver takes a break along the highway. Did you ever play the "License Plate Game" and spent hours trying to find that license plate from Montana? How about the "Alphabet Game" and how difficult it was to find "Q" or "X"? Maybe you're young enough to remember playing them with your parents? Why don't you and your family search for 18-wheelers instead? They are a lot easier to spot and this book will provide the pictures! ! ! Maybe Daddy and Johnny can compete against Mommy and Susie to see who can spot the greatest number. In addition to the pictures of 18-wheelers, there is a story that provides fun facts about what daddy sees, hauls, and does while on his trips. Like, did you ever see a train being carried on an 18-wheeler? Or how about a horse trailer that transports the Kentucky Derby winner from California to Churchill Downs in Kentucky? How about a map of the United States or information about where daddy sleeps, takes a shower, or spends his off time?It's a fun and challenging way to spend many hours while driving down the interstate highways. Elizabeth Williams loved the book and said "Gave as a gift to my Nephew. He loves 18-wheelers and it is difficult to find a book with photos and that he wants to read. This book has both. Would buy again."
