Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle, Jill McElmurry


Rating: WORTHY!

This is a nicely illustrated (by McElmurry) little story about helping others. The little blue truck happily travels the dirt roads around the farm saying 'hi!' to the farm animals until one day a big old truck almost runs it off the road in an almighty haste to get somewhere. The problem is that those dirt roads can become swampy after a rainfall, and the big truck gets stuck.

Now it's up to the little truck to help get the big truck moving. The farm animals (even the little frog) can help too. This book was perky and sweet, with rhyming bits here and there, and colorful pictures, and I commend it as a worthy and fun read.
