Melvin Might?

by Jon Scieszka

Melvin Might? Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Cement Mixer Melvin worries a lot. He worries he might get dirty. He worries he might get stuck. He even worries he might get worried. But one fateful day Rescue Rita is in need of a little rescuing, and Trucktown's biggest worrywart is the only one who can save the day. There's just one problem: He worries he can't. Jon Scieszka's latest racing and rollicking installment to the Trucktown franchise is a hilarious (and maybe even a little heartwarming) look at all the things a cement mixer can do...no matter how much he worries!

Synopsis:

Rescue Rita needs to be rescued!

Only Melvin can save her!

About the Author

tion series for the youngest readers.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.Loren Long has received two gold medals from the Society of Illustrators. His first picture book, Angela Johnson's I Dream of Trains, won the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators' Golden Kite Award for illustrations. His interpretation of Walt Whitman's When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer won a Golden Kite Honor. He is the illustrator of Madonna's #1 New York Times bestseller Mr. Peabody's Apples and a new edition of Watty Piper's The Little Engine That Could. Loren lives in West Chester, Ohio, with his wife, Tracy, and two young sons, Griffith and Graham.
