""Neigh!" said a horse.
"Quack!" said a duck.
"Beep!" said the friendly
Little Blue Truck." "Little Blue Truck" is a joyful cacophony of animal and truck sounds that will have youngsters beeping and quacking--and begging for one more go-round! Along the way, readers see that it pays to be kind to our animal friends: If we show friendly respect to others, we're more likely to get help when we're, say, stuck in the muck in a truck. Jill McElmurry's gouache illustrations of wild-eyed farm animals and country roads are warm and wonderful, suiting the cheerfully rhyming text to a T. This sturdy board book edition is sure to withstand many riotous read-aloud sessions. Beep!Don't miss the sequel "Little Blue Truck Leads the Way" (2009)!
