Trucks Galore
A playful, high-energy celebration of trucks in all shapes and sizes!
Trucks and MORE trucks! Open-door trucks! Heavy-load trucks! Shake-the-road trucks!
Whether working on a construction site or carrying ice cream, hurrying to put out a fire or hailing from outer space, this endless array of big, noisy vehicles is a dream parade for every child who loves trucks. Revved up by Peter Stein’s rhythmic, rhyming verse, combined with Bob Staake’s dynamic and witty illustrations, this is a road trip kids will want to take again and again.
