A Fire Truck for Chuck - by Annika Dunklee (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A rhyming read-aloud perfect for bath and bedtime

Chuck loves everything about his firetruck. He plays with it nonstop: in the sandbox, the yard, and the mud. But after bath time, once Chuck is squeaky clean, his fire truck is nowhere to be seen!

Dumbstruck, Chuck hunts all over the house. Where is his truck?! Was it sucked up into the vacuum, now stuck? Finally, Chuck and his truck are reunited, just in time for bed.

Told not in verse but with plenty of fun rhyme and repetition, this story's bright, cartoon-like art conveys Chuck's full range of emotions. With humor and warmth, this new board book captures a child's joy for their favorite toy.
