I love the Ready to Roll books, not all the board books are good or good for libraries, but the reader series is ideal. It provides print motivation, because kids who love cars or the movie Cars will want to know what happens, and the words are presented in new and interesting ways. This installment is clever, and a little scary, but kids will enjoy laughing at the truck who is scared when it isn't really something to be afraid of.
I wasn't a big fan of this book. I thought the illustrations were nice, but I kind of wanted more variety in the plot and pictures. I felt like one line was repeated so many times it stopped being meaningful. I also thought the ending could have used a little tweaking - I got the sentiments, but I wanted the text to be more specific. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Melvin has a flat tire and takes a golden tire from the junkyard to replace it. A mysterious voice then chases him home, demanding to know who took the golden tire. Melvin reacts as you think Melvin wood. Not as good as the others in the Turcktown series.
