The Dumped Truck

Grumpy Monkey meets Little Blue Truck meets Toy Story in this hilarious picture book about a play truck who is cast out by the other toys for doing his job, created by Daniel Bernstrom and Pura Belpré Award winning artist, Marcelo Verdad.

Welcome to Toyville, where Dump Truck does his work. His dirty work. Dump Truck cleans, fixes, and dumps stuff because—hey!—it’s his job.

But the other toys can’t stand Dump’s less-than-tidy appearance.

So they make a new rule: NO DIRTY DUMP TRUCKS.

When Dump Truck gets dumped, what will he—and the other toys—do? 

Find out in this funny yet thoughtful tale about working together and proving that there’s nothing wrong with getting a little dirty.
