In the duo's second vehicle-as-pet book (How to Train a Train), a boy narrator helps readers find a pet truck. The droll how-to narrative offers advice on selecting the type of truck wanted--moving, garbage, or monster truck, for example--and then on tracking, catching, and taming it. Bold, digitally colored graphite illustrations featuring active, personified trucks add energy to the tale.
