Description de l’éditeur
All monsters love the autumn air,
just right to sneak and spook and scare.
But other seasons of the year,
they shift into a different gear.
Monsters get to work—paving roads, plowing snow, hauling muck—with their monster trucks in this fun, rhyming picture book. With a gentle bedtime ending, this not-too-scary story is perfect for young monster and truck lovers.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
On hiatus from their Halloween activities, various monsters "shift into a different gear" by taking on roadside work. Debut author Keller gets plenty of mileage from the titular pun, playfully matching monsters to appropriate trucks: a yeti sits behind the wheel of a snowplow, a witch "trades in her trusty broom" for a street sweeper, and a mummy rides an ambulance ("She'll patch each monster's bump and scrape/ with lots of bandages and tape"). In digital drawings with thick, chunky lines reminiscent of woodblock prints, Saburi shows each creature hard (and happily) at work. Keller offers extra reassurance for readers who may worry about a visit from this spooky bunch: "At rest in your bed, tucked in tight,/ don't fear these monsters in the night." After a hard day's work, they are "much too tired to crawl and creep." Ages 4 8. Author's)
