Review Quotes

"A tasty treat on trucks and takeout." --Kirkus "There's plenty of personality in Todd's quirky fleet of trucks." --Publishers Weekly "Readers will be inspired to write a poem or design a food truck for a favorite food that's 'rib-stickin', finger-lickin', or toothpick-needin'." --School Library Journal "What will draw in ravenous readers are Todd's pen-and-ink illustrations: busy, thick-lined depictions of each heavily themed vehicle, each popping with the kind of detail that will make kids wish there were toy versions." --Booklist Online
