Illustrated by
Jill McElmurry.
Featuring trucks, farm animals, and animal sounds, this story is right on target for a board book audience. Little Blue and his friends drive home the story's gentle message (some days, nice guys finish first) as effectively as before. Schertle's bouncy rhyming text and McElmurry's amiable old-fashioned-looking illustrations fare well in the smaller format.
