Synopses & Reviews
Early each morning,
before the sun is even up,
the Truck Stop opens for breakfast,
and the trucks start pulling in.
Eighteen wheeler,
milk tank,
moving van,
and flatbed!
Their drivers order eggs and bacon,
pancakes with syrup,
and a blueberry muffin.
For the boy who helps his parents at the counter, there is nothing better than seeing all the trucks roll in; he knows every single one . . . and can tell when one is missing!
Here is a story for very young truck lovers, worth stopping for again and again.

Praise for TRUCK STOP by Anne Rockwell: "For truck lovers everywhere." —Kirkus
Synopsis
"In the same vein as Rockwell's earlier books-Boats, Cars, and Trucks-this new title presents various types of planes to the very young child. The artist uses clear, bright colors to depict the planes that, in this case, fly in a world inhabited entirely by rabbits-a very useful introduction to aviation." - The Horn Book
