The wide load is longer, taller, and heavier than most loads. What is it? Where is it going?
Will the big red truck that’s carrying it make it across the intersection, through the tunnel, and up the mountain? Will it make it to its destination all in one piece?
Find out in this delightful picture book about a mammoth truck and its epic journey!
Bestselling creator Stephen Savage's Wide Load on the Road is a satisfying read from start to finish, perfect for little fans of BIG vehicles.
