K-3Jon Scieszka's Trucktown series.
Illustrated by
David Gordon
&
Loren Long.
Also illustrated by David Shannon. After a big snowfall, Trucktown has a snow day. Jack and friends (all trucks) have fun slipping and sliding, building a snow truck, and having snowball fights. In the end, all the streets have been cleared. Frenetic illustrations feature trucks with personality. The text, though full of word repetition and simple sentences, is printed in a type and design that may be difficult for newer readers.
