Big Joe's Trailer Truck

Big Joe's Trailer Truck is a picture book written and illustrated by Joe Mathieu and first published by Random House in 1974. The book focuses on truck driver Big Joe and his work routine, and also labels the different parts of the truck rig. The book has been re-issued many times, and still remains in print.

In Elmo's Lift-and-Peek Around the Corner Book from 1996, also illustrated by Mathieu, Baby Natasha reads the book in Finders Keepers; Mathieu's name appears, unreadable, in the lower right corner, mimicking the actual cover.
