Trucks Line Up

by Jon Scieszka, Garage Design

Jack truck takes the lead calling out colors and characteristics. All the trucks of Trucktown line up when it's their turn. But what about Pete? He's not red, or green, or pink, or blue. He doesn't have a scraper or flashers. Once he makes it to the line, it's a Trucktown parade of honks and hollers. Leveled Readers is an imprint of Spotlight, a division of ABDO.

2 1/2 stars. I've read several of these Trucktown books now, and I still have the feeling that I'm missing something. A Trucktown TV show? Toy trucks to buy at the store? There seems to be an assumption that we know the various characters, and we don't. (I hope someone out there is laughing because Trucktown is a really popular TV show or something.)

With that all said, the ending to this one is rather fun and clever.

I think about it being silly. I actually want 5 stars. Hope. Ugh this is awful

Great Series, I highly recommend them. Well to be honest I recommend anything by Jon Scieszka.

My kindergartener loves this series of easy readers. He needs help with a few words (e.g. right), but the illustrations are funny and help him to forget that he is actually reading.

My 4 year old loves it. I find it harmlessly nonsensical. It would be better if it rhymed.
