Colossal: Heavyweights of the Vehicle Universe

For the child who stops to watch every digger

This oversized book celebrates the biggest, tallest, and most powerful vehicles on Earth with the kind of fascinating detail that captivates young vehicle enthusiasts. Across 28 different machines—from Bigfoot 5, the world's mightiest monster truck, to colossal cruise ships and the International Space Station—children discover the extraordinary engineering feats that keep our world moving.

The detailed illustrations by Studio Muti reveal how these giants work, with cross-sections showing interiors and scaled comparisons that make the impossible-to-imagine suddenly clear. Did you know a fully loaded railway container weighs as much as five elephants? Or that today's cruise ships are nearly 100 metres longer than the Titanic? These are the kinds of facts that stick with children long after they close the book.

With extra-thick pages this beautifully made book becomes a treasured companion for curious minds fascinated by how things work and what makes them extraordinary. Part of the acclaimed series from Twirl Books, it's created by Stéphane Frattini, with expert-reviewed educational content throughout.

Suitable for children aged 5 years and up
