Trucks need a time-out in this board book about emotions written by
Todd Tarpley (Beep! Beep! Go to Sleep! and Ten Tiny Toes) and
illustrated by bestselling artist Guy Parker-Rees (Giraffes Can't
Dance).
Whirr! Whomp! Grind! Chomp! Three toy trucks have big plans for their
day at the playground: digging and lifting, building and shifting. But
then they start to get tired . . . and hot . . . and hungry . . . .
They're GRUMPY! When they throw a total truck tantrum, will anyone be
able to calm them down?
Kids (and parents) may just recognize themselves in this entertaining
take on getting grouchy, and getting over it. The lighthearted, rhythmic
text will have young readers chanting along, and the bright and buoyant
illustrations of the trucks' looming meltdown will keep them giggling!
