Bookroo's summary

A boy on a bike finds his street blocked by a broken ice-cream truck, causing a traffic jam of mail and hay trucks. As vehicles pile up, the boy sees an opportunity. Can his clever idea turn chaos into a sweet solution? Dive into this rhythmic adventure and discover how one boy's creativity might just save the day, all while counting the trucks stuck in line.

From the publisher

Count the trucks getting stuck in a traffic jam in this rhythmic read-aloud sure to draw in kids who love everything on wheels.

One ice-cream truck selling everything sweet breaks down and blocks the middle of our street.

If you’re a little boy on a bike, an ice-cream truck on your street is always a welcome sight. But what if the truck breaks down and blocks the mail truck behind it (now there are two), not to mention a third truck carrying hay? One by one, trucks of all types and sizes and functions are sure to pile up behind, offering ample opportunity for ogling — and counting. And maybe the boy’s idea for putting one of the trucks to good use might even save the day!
