From the publisher

Graphically appealing two-color illustrations pair perfectly with a spare, rhythmic ode to beloved trucks of all kinds - from fire trucks to dump trucks to ice cream trucks, the sweetest trucks of all - and to the kid who loves and collects them, Love Is a Truck follows Love Is a Tutu (our ballet-inspired ode to tutus and toe shoes) in our Love Is series. A smaller square format with thick, sturdy pages, make these little picture books perfect for young readers, ages 2-6, and for reading aloud again and again.

“I LOVE the illustrations in this book--they are my favorite! I think this book is cute and will be a hit for anyone that likes trucks, but it bothered me that the beginning and end rhymed and the rest didn't.”

“The illustrations are adorable and major points for including a diverse main character. My toddler son is obsessed with trucks, so I really wanted to like it, particularly with how cute the illustrations are, but I had a hard time reading it aloud with the varied cadence and some lines that rhymed and some that did not.”

“I love the overall design and illustrations of this book! Even the feel of the book in your hands is great. Unfortunately, the writing and storyline (or lack thereof) is thoroughly meh.”
