A key to developing a child's lifelong love for learning is by reading them stories about their interests at the moment. And this starts from the time they are toddlers. While overzealous parents may want their child to read about a diverse selection of genres, it's not uncommon for preschoolers to develop a kind of obsession with a particular topic. And the trucks with the dirtiest job have an interesting appeal for young children. Perhaps it's the importance of the job they do. Removing all the smelly waste ;from trash cans left by the curb is not a job for just any big machine. Here is a list of the best picture books about garbage trucks, how they work, and what happens to all of that trash after they pick it up.
