(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jenny Mattheson. A father and daughter do errands in their trusty old pickup truck. The daughter narrates the simple and mildly patterned story, recognizing new purposes for Old Blue (restaurant, garden, toolshed, etc.) each time they take on new cargo. Saturated colors and rounded shapes in the art and design establish the mood of a happy and easygoing day with dad.
