Bookroo's summary

In a snowy town bustling with twenty festive trucks, a Christmas tree star crashes to the ground. As the holiday spirit hangs in the balance, two inventive siblings must find a replacement. With a parade of vehicles, including a snowplow and Santa's sleigh, the stakes are high. Will their clever solution restore the town's cheer? Dive into a world of rhymes, trucks, and holiday magic as the siblings race against time to save Christmas.

From the publisher

Add a big dose of Christmas cheer to an array of trucks for counting and you have the components of read-aloud holiday magic. One doughnut truck, on a cold winter day, drives into town and parks and stays. The snowy town is filling up with a procession of trucks of all shapes and sizes, including a snowplow, a crane, a digger, a semitrailer transporting the town’s majestic Christmas tree, and even a flatbed carrying Santa’s sleigh. All in all, twenty trucks roll in full of sparkle and anticipation, ready to set up the holiday festivities. But when the star being hoisted to the top of the Christmas tree wobbles and crashes to the ground, what could possibly be used to replace it? Thankfully, a pair of siblings scan the scene and come up with the perfect solution. Author Mark Lee and illustrator Kurt Cyrus team up again for a buoyant story delivering satisfying rhymes, holiday spirit, and most importantly, twenty trucks for counting.
