Illustrated by
Bob Staake.
There are fleets of books introducing children to trucks; what makes one stand out? Well, it helps to have Staake's unmistakable sleek, blocky illustrations, but Stein's stumble-proof rhymes are equally valuable ("Trucks and MORE trucks! / Open-door trucks! / Heavy-load trucks! / Shake-the-road trucks!"). Throw in some road drama, as Stein and Staake do here, and--voilà!--a toddler's joyride.
