A Fire Truck Named Red

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bob Staake. Rowan yearns for a shiny new fire truck for his birthday, but he receives an older, used model from his grandfather; the man reminisces as he refurbishes "Red," restoring Rowan's excitement through increasingly dramatic stories. Sepia vignettes depict Rowan literally being pulled into memories, and Red's worn textures offer a meaningful contrast to the flat, geometric graphic style that dominates the book's art.
