Moving Characters Series by Lindy Lette

The Moving Characters Series is a series of educational books for children learning about how trucks (and their trailers) work. The series covers many types of trucks and trailers, labelling different parts and how they operate. With colourful photos of the trucks and their trailers, as well as other accompanying vehicles, young readers of the series will not even realise how much they are learning! Kenny’s friend Truck-Dog will delight children as he gets into mischief.

The Moving Characters Series is written by author Lindy Lette who, along with her husband, owns and runs Brisbane-based logistics business Freightshift, which currently runs many trucks across Australia. Over her career Lindy has many pictures of the trucks in beautiful locations and wanted to make something with this collection of wonderful images. As well as this, Lindy wants to promote the logistics industry as something for readers of all ages to take interest in and become more informed about.

The Moving Characters Series covers the five learning outcomes from the Early Years Learning Framework which is the current curriculum taught in the early education system. Schools are one of the many avenues through which the series will be promoted and often Lindy will arrive with one of the trucks from the series so children can have a close view of and hands on approach to the characters.

For those who love cute, soft cuddly dogs you will be able to purchase your very own Truck-Dog early in the New Year!
