20 Big Trucks

20 Big Trucks

Picture book
Most little kids and quite a few big ones find trucks
fascinating. If you want a counting story that depicts a lovely range
of these vehicles and carries the message that big people don't always
know what to do, you can't do better than Mark Lee's 20 Big Trucks In
The Middle Of The Street.
A young boy riding a bike encounters a broken down ice cream
truck in his neighborhood. Next thing you know it's blocking a mail
truck. Add in a truck carrying hay, a crane, and two moving vans and
you have the start of a serious traffic jam. The boy knows how to set
things right. But will the adults listen to him?
On a personal note, I can remember when Adam was fascinated by trucks
like the young protagonist of the book. Now he can drive a truck, ride
a motorcycle, and even fly a plane solo. Yikes!
A great big shout out goes out to the hubby and all the others who
were using their trucks and other big machines to clear up after a
serious snow storm today.
