Does your family have Monster Jam fever? If your kids are dedicated followers of Bigfoot, Gravedigger, El Toro Loco, and all the rest, you’re probably besieged with requests for merch, both before and after the greatest show on dirt comes to town.
The good news is that you don’t have to wait until the next event to build your Monster Jam library. From official guides to phonics sets, we have Monster Jam-themed books that will satisfy the most dedicated fans.
Monster Jam Guides
The most fun part of diving into a special interest with your kids is learning all the lore. Monster Jam has a 30-plus-year history to jump into, complete with heroes and rivalries. Learn about your favorite trucks and drivers and peek under the hood of the loudest, most exciting motorsport there is.
Monster Jam offers a few official guidebooks including one geared (sorry) at the 6 to 8 crowd and another for 7 and up. Each one comes with a free vehicle. (You’ll be happy to know that the included toy does not weigh 12,000 pounds.)
Want to learn more about monster trucks in general? Elementary-aged readers will love Monster Trucks and Other Mighty Machines, which is full of fun facts and colorful photos, and Monster Trucks In 3D, which comes with its own pair of 3D glasses.
Practice Skills With Monster Trucks
Parlay your kids’ excitement about monster trucks into skills practice and show the joy and fun of learning. Pre-K kids will love spinning wheels while practicing their colors in Monster Jam: Pit Party Colors. Or develop those fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination with Rough and Tough Monster Trucks, a sensory board book shaped like a tire.
Got an emerging reader on your pit crew? Get loud while you practice those long and short vowel sounds in Monster Jam Phonics Boxed Set. The set comes with 10 easy-to-read books packed with sight words, plus two activity books to help practice comprehension and cement those skills.
