A Truck Goes Rattley-Bumpa
PreSchool-Grade 1–No matter how many truck books you have, certain youngsters will always clamor for more. This one offers a fun twist. Trucks of all shapes and sizes are introduced by three members of a family who, readers discover in the end, are building a new house. The text is spare, but reads aloud well, and the bold, simple illustrations that fill each spread speak volumes. Children will also delight in following a frolicking squirrel throughout the book and finding him on each page. It is the satisfying details like this that make the book a super addition to a much-loved picture-book genre.–Genevieve Gallagher, Murray Elementary School, Charlottesville, VACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
