Tommy’s not himself today. He’s lost his T-R-U-C-K! And no matter what Mom, Dad, sis, brother, and Grandma offer, it’s just not as fun as his best red truck. The family dog isn’t as picky, and sharp-eyed readers will wonder what happens to the cast-off toys Bowser gets his mouth around. Meanwhile, Tommy tears through the house and yard to hilarious and poignant effect, only to discover, in a grand moment of triumph, sneaky Bowser’s secret stash. Hooray! Tommy’s found his T-R-U-C-K! Come on Bowser, let’s go play! A welcome addition to the community of strong-willed but endearing picture-book protagonists, Tommy proves you can be in a funk and still be a sweet kid.
