Strap in for a rousing, rumbling ode to trucks of all stripes, loaded with high-energy verse and whimsical illustrations. Trucks and MORE trucks!Open-door trucks!Heavy-load trucks!Shake-the-road trucks! Whether hauling dirt or carrying treats, hurrying to put out a fire or hailing from outer space, this endless array of big, noisy vehicles is a dream parade for every child who loves trucks. Revved up by Peter Stein’s rhythmic verse, combined with Bob Staake’s warm and witty illustrations, this is a road trip kids will want to take again and again.
Making books is one of my favorite things in the world, but not my ONLY favorite thing. I also love hanging out with my family and giant dog Theo, playing the guitar, running, and doing non book-related art projects. Music is always a part of my creative routing (unless I’m writing, then quiet is the key), and I have a growing list of podcasts keep things interesting when in the middle of a project.
