A big-hearted truck learns where she can help

Big Rig is a tractor trailer eager to answer every call for help, from speeding cars to boats in trouble and fires. Her attempts don’t always match the task, leaving her out of breath, wet, or frustrated; eventually, she gets a chance to put her own talents to use. Simple rhyming text frames the mishaps as a silly story while introducing cooperation and the idea of valuing what makes you yourself. The transportation-centered premise gives the book a clear focus on trucks and other vehicles, with Big Rig’s enthusiasm driving the action.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A choice for young children interested in trucks and other vehicles.
  • Suitable for families seeking a rhyming story that introduces cooperation and self-acceptance.
  • May work well for shared reading with preschool-age children.

Book overview

From renowned illustrator Patrick Corrigan (Toe Truck Joe), the story of Big Rig, a tractor trailer who loves helping out . . . even when she's not the best truck for the job!

"Here I am! Make way, make way!
Big Rig's here to save the day."

Children of all ages will love the story of Big Rig, a tractor trailer who thinks she can catch speeding cars, save boats stuck at sea, blow out fires, and more. When she's not quite up to the task, leaving her out of breath, wet, and frustrated, Big Rig finally gets an opportunity to use her special talents to save the day!

The simple rhyming text tells a silly story, while gently introducing the concept of cooperation, as well as the message that the best way to show up in the world is as yourself!
