Reviews
It's a rip-roaring ride for young truck-lovers in Stein's newest book about a wide variety of heavy-duty vehicles...Kiddos still unconvinced about the allure of these massive means of transportation will likely be convinced that "Trucks are COOL-- / they're number one!" by this lively picture book.
--Booklist Staake and Stein keep on truckin' when madcap tomfoolery and heavy machinery go hand in hand...this is sure to lure in both hardcore preschool truck enthusiasts and their truck-curious compatriots as they pore over the details on every page. Put the pedal to the metal and track down these trucks for your favorite back-seat drivers.
--Kirkus Reviews The lively, detailed, cartoony illustrations are paired humorously with a spirited, page-turning rhythmic narrative, making this title an excellent read-aloud or one-on-one choice...Truck-obsessed children will be entertained for many for re-readings.
