K-3Jon Scieszka's Trucktown series.
Illustrated by
David Shannon
&
Loren Long.
Also illustrated by David Gordon. In this skewered Thanksgiving tale, the first residents of Trucktown arrive (complete with Pilgrim hats and a Mayflower replica), build "Ye Olde Trucktown" out of logs, and, in looking for a way to celebrate this accomplishment, settle on an annual Trucksgiving road race. The slight story will be appreciated by those who enjoy the series' smart-alecky brand of humor.
