Descripción editorial
The city is a busy place and home to many kinds of trucks in this “gloriously bright, inventive world on wheels” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) tale about all the trucks on the road—big, small, real and imagined!
Trucky Roads sees all kinds of trucks, and when he imagines the kinds of trucks that could be, there is no stopping him. From a cloud roller to a comet mixer, the sky is the limit when you dream!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Though "some people look at the road and just see TRUCKS," bearded enthusiast Trucky Roads sees "all KINDS of trucks" in this imaginative appreciation that muses on the vehicles' many modes. Early pages list commonplace variations (dump trucks, garbage trucks), but things grow increasingly outlandish after Roads muses, "If you can dream it, it could be." On the next spread, which introduces "Tow Trucks and Toe Trucks," Roads is seen in the cab of a tow truck pulling a foot-shaped vehicle wearing a Band-Aid. Amid the goofy assemblage, things turn contemplative: asked whether a Bus Truck is "a bus made of a truck, or a truck made of a bus," text indicates that "Truck is in the eye of the beholder." And the onset of nighttime suggests even dreamier opportunities for vehicle expansiveness. Punny narration from Miller and friendly-faced digital renderings by Skipp conjure a high-energy truck rally with far-out vibes. Human characters are portrayed with various skin tones. Ages 4–8.
