Publisher Comments:

For generations these classic, high-octane rhymes, songs, and tales have been passed down from truck to truck. Lucky for us, the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature has collected them all into one really big, noisy volume. From “Peter Peter Payload Eater” to “Pop Blows the Diesel” to “Swing Around with Rosie,” all the classic truckery rhymes are here. Find out which one is your favorite!

Synopsis:

Jon Scieszka is the creator of Trucktown and the author of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs , the Time Warp Trio series, Caldecott Honor Book The Stinky Cheese Man, and many other books that inspire kids to want to read. He has worked as an elementary school teacher and is the founder of a literacy initiative for boys (www.guysread.com).

About the Author

These three award-winning, bestselling artists — and part-time grease monkeys — worked overtime to help Jon Scieszka create Trucktown. They drew, they painted, and they combined their distinct visual styles (and even wore matching coveralls) to bring the Trucktown world to life.These three award-winning, bestselling artists — and part-time grease monkeys — worked overtime to help Jon Scieszka create Trucktown.

My son loves trucks... so he loves this book! What could be better than nursery rhymes that are tricked out to include trucks? Every little boy's (and most girls too) dream. John Scieszka does it again with his creativity and captivating imagination.
