Review Quotes

"The power of varied repetition hooks even readers who aren't truck aficionados in a title that initially seems as literal as they come . . . But the arrival of less commonplace fare--a pink vehicle sporting painted daisies, and a green truck interacting with nothing at all--raises questions about what combination will turn up next. . . . [Will] draw plenty of laughs." - Publishers Weekly
"What could be better than a truck? Two trucks, one on top of the other! . . . A colorful picture book, which features a new combination or two on each double-page spread. . . . Created with gouache and digital elements, the vibrant illustrations show a strong sense of color, composition, and child appeal. . . . The book could be used for counting, identifying colors, or sorting by size. With eye-catching jacket art, this book will quickly find its audience." - Booklist
