Illustrated by
David Catrow.
"Tommy's not himself today. / He's lost his T-R-U-C-K!" When a boy's favorite truck goes missing, the whole household gets dragged into the drama. With their wild proportions and perspectives, Catrow's illustrations kick Beaumont's bouncy, rhyming text up a notch. Sharp-eyed viewers might guess who's responsible for the truck's disappearance before the mystery's solved, but knowing whodunit doesn't detract from the fun.
