(3) PS Illustrated by Melissa Iwai. "Garbage truck / with empty loader. / Alley-crawling / diesel motor. / Trash-can thunder, / sooty plume. / Grinding lever. / BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" Clever rhyming couplets capture the ways in which a preschooler's imaginative play mirrors the actions of full-sized motorized vehicles. The accompanying color-drenched acrylic paintings are especially suited to viewing by a group.
