Illustrated by
Carol Thompson.
A preschooler describes the anticipation of his trucker dad's arrival: "I love to ride in Daddy's truck. / He picks me up from school. / Then I have Dad to myself. / We think that's sooo cool!" The rhymes are unimaginative and rhythmically challenged, but the art, featuring a sweetheart of a tattooed, rough-and-tumble dad, is colorful and entertaining.
