K-3Ready-to-Read: Jon Scieszka's Trucktown series.
Illustrated by
David Shannon
&
Loren Long.
Also illustrated by David Gordon. Truck Kat loves to make maps of everything including her room and town. When Kat gives a surprise map to her friend Jack, he follows it precisely over highways and under Race Bridge to "an art show of all...Kat's maps." Though the text is easy to read, the payoff is lackluster compared to all that buildup.
