(3) PS Unlike the "brave trucks" (bucket, fire, tow), our bespectacled hero quietly goes about his job collecting trash. When a blizzard hits, the garbage truck sneaks into a garage and emerges--with a plow attachment--as "SUPERTRUCK!" Simple shapes and bold colors create visually approachable images. The text is spare, but there's plenty of drama! mystery! danger! in this just-as-engaging board-book version of Savage's preschooler-perfect superhero book.
