Operators who want to
introduce their youngest offspring to trucks and all things trucking need look no further than "Look at that Truck", a video aimed at children from three to six years. The 35-minute film shows various vehicles in action including tankers, military trucks, racing trucks, American big rigs, fire engines and dumpers_ The video explains in simple language what the vehicles carry, how much they can transport and how fast they can go—limiters allowing. There is even new footage of the earliest steam engines to provide a rare treat for collectors. In the way of these things, it may be that this ladybird approach ends up teaching us know-all adults some fascinating facts we were unaware of. The video, along with companion titles on trains, diggers, tractors and planes, is available from retailers such as WH Smith and Woolworths at 27.99. It is also available from the Hawk, who has five copies to give away to readers who can tell me the surnames of Vol and John who fronted the most famous children's programme of all, Blue Peter, during its 1970s heyday. Answers on a postcard by 19 July to the usual CM address, marked "Video Competition'.
