PSJon Scieszka's Trucktown series.
Illustrated by
David Shannon
&
Loren Long.
Also illustrated by David Gordon. In this desultory addition to the series, all the familiar residents of Trucktown--from Jack Truck to Izzy Ice Cream Truck--compete in a race to see who will get from A to Z first. Boisterous and colorful illustrations will grab the attention of any truck fan, but the text's rhymes are uninspired and sometimes read aloud awkwardly.
