Hooray for Trucks!

Hooray for trucks, bathtime, and fun rhyme and wordplay. It's hard to round up trucks for their time to literally and figuratively shine. When a brown-skinned human attempts to get them to line up, they don't budge. "Trucks LIKE dirt and mud and sludge!" They finally cooperate after the human convinces them that getting clean is "an IMPORTANT chore" and "getting clean is ALSO work." Let the bubbly bathtime and playful alliterative description begin ("Splash and spray, / slather and slosh, / dunk and swish-- / wash, wash, WASH!"). Once the trucks are "rubbed and buffed," it's time to head out, with plenty of toots, beeps, and honks that will invite young listeners to join in. The trucks' destination? A parade. A diverse crew of children are on hand to decorate the vehicles with banners, flowers, and balloons. Decorators and parade spectators include people who use wheelchairs and kids wearing headscarves. Truck lovers will appreciate the colorful variety of trucks, personified as hardworking community members complete with jaunty work hats and even a bow on one of them. Those using the book for a storytime will enjoy the lively rhyming couplets, some with a singable rhythm, and plentiful alliteration and onomatopoeia. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Sure to please young truck lovers--and just the thing to get them eager for their own baths. (Picture book. 3-6) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
