Despite its size, the street sweeper has one mighty job! The street sweeper is a little truck with a very big job. While it is not the largest, fastest, or most powerful truck, a street sweeper does something that no other truck can do: it keeps our streets clean. And a street sweeper is so much fun to watch.
Colorful illustrations and an engaging compare-and-contrast text make this picture book a delight for budding truck-lovers.

Summary: Reluctant-reader dads, this is your book...
Comment: I had to look up who Patrick Moore was, and that was after I loved the book.
One of my challenges as a librarian is to find books that are appealing for dads (for some reason, they tend to be self-conscious) to read aloud to kids. Here it is! No romance, no sissy characters, just comparison of the "mighty" street sweeper with all sorts of other vehicles.
Kids tend to like the same story over and over, and--again--this book is a winner, for it incorporates some interesting statistics in such a way that repeated reading is a pleasure: The tanker truck holds 4,000 gallons of water; the street sweeper has a tank that hold 180 gallons of water, this said while foxes and squirrels are busy maintaining and driving the various vehicles.
And the illustrations are friendly, cartoons without being too cutesy. Great book.

Summary: Cute
Comment: For Health we are looking at the people who help out in a community. This book gives information on street sweepers as it compares to other trucks. It is a cute book that uses cartoon pictures with simple text. I would recommend it for grades PS - 1st.

Summary: Boxy but Good
Comment: Nice images and colorful, easy to follow pictures and story lines even for someone who has no memory like myself. I don't know about the first comment, about liking to "watch" the street sweeper. In New York City, it's more about getting out of the way of them! Patrick Moore, not to be confused with that other Patrick Moore, has incorporated squirrels and life into an otherwise mundane subject. Children who enjoy a big, loud, snorting vehicle in real life, will truly enjoy Mr. Moore's bringing them down to size and into their livingrooms. Nice illustrations. A new classic. Next time I hope to see more monkey based story lines.

Summary: love this book!
Comment: This is a really adorable book. The drawings in particular are very alive and happy and the story was very entertaining. I'm a pretty picky kid's book reader-- so many of them are bland and predictable, but this one's got heart and soul!
