Teeny Tiny Trucks

by Tim McCanna, Keith Frawley (Illustrator)

Slugs in traffic jams, busy bees and caterpillar bridges you never know what you'll encounter with Teeny Tiny Trucks! Teeny Tiny Trucks hits the road with a convoy of micro-sized rigs as they trek through a treacherous garden, down a grassy landscape, across a wide stretch of sidewalk and into the great beyond. Will they deliver their teeny tiny cargo on time? Author Tim McCanna has zoomed in on the much-loved world of smallness, and illustrator Keith Frawley has the slugs, bugs and caterpillars ready for a close-up. Bouncy, rhyming text and this unique, bug s-eye perspective on a classic truck theme will thrill kids, and remind parents of the joys of simple outdoor play. Includes a fun glossary of "trucker lingo" that children will enjoy.

If you've got little ones who love trucks, this rhyming tale about tiny trucks carrying loads through a garden with ants & bugs & animals may amuse them.

It has a "Trucker Talk" page at the end, explaining trucker vocabulary, and I think it might be good to start with that page if you are unfamiliar with trucker expressions such as "smokey" or "what's your 20?"

The illustrations are very cute.

What a refreshing and brand new take on the age-old theme of trucks! Trucks the size of ants carrying their tiny cargo will delight children, especially since the rhyming text is pitch-perfect. It's a must-read for all little truck lovers!
