for Little Truck by Taro Gomi
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A bright pink Little Truck makes its way along the road under the watchful eye of a large orange truck. The orange truck warns Little Truck not to go too fast and provides a helpful push when Little Truck slows down trying to crest a hill. When Little Truck heads into a tunnel, the trailing orange truck wonders, “Where did Little Truck go? Are you okay, Little Truck?” After catching up, orange truck gives Little Truck a ride on its flatbed. “Sweet dreams, Little Truck. It’s time to go home.” The simple text and boldly outlined illustrations of this compact board book offer both drama and the safety net of an attentive caretaker for young adventurers. (Ages 1–3)
