Illustrated by
Jim McMullan.
This entry in the McMullans' peppy vehicle-centric series (most recently I'm Smart!) stars a plucky red pickup truck hauling lumber, gravel, and hay bales around the countryside, all while commenting on truck parts, terminology, and capabilities. There's a passing lesson in stick-to-itiveness, but mostly it's just vehicle-loving fun, with sound effects and interjections, bold-hued illustrations, and a bright-eyed truck with an outsize smile on its front bumper.
