Illustrated by
David Slonim.
These playful verses sing the praises of sixteen trucks and the work they do. The lighthearted acrylic and charcoal illustrations enhance the poems' humor and give their subjects loads of personality. The same three children and friendly dog are pictured throughout, in drivers' seats and working alongside their truck friends. The book will make light work of even the toughest storytimes.
