Beloved picture book author Rhonda Gowler Greene and illustrator Daniel Kirk join forces for another classic rhyming story for every fan of things that go!

Reviews

Creative and appealing . . . Each page consists of a singsonglike rhyme that makes for a jovial readaloud. * School Library Journal * Vrooming vehicles of all kinds, carrying a distinctive cast of anthropomorphic animals . . . A playful twist for automobile-loving readers. * Publishers Weekly * It's the interactions among the cast of animals that generate the fun in the full-spread illustrations. There are lots of vehicle-themed alphabet books, but very few are as all-inclusive as this one is. * Kirkus Reviews * The featured letters are often incorporated into the vehicles or other parts of Kirk's appealing digital illustrations, but when kids realize that the amiable, dressed-animal characters also represent those letters, naming them adds to the fun. . . . A versatile, enjoyable picture book for kids enthralled by vehicles. * Booklist * This appealing picture book will work well in classrooms and storytimes and as a bedtime read. A must-have for most collections. * School Library Journal on PUSH! DIG! SCOOP! * In this well-conceived, bouncy and colorful primer, Greene builds up various geometric shapes from a line. . . . A clever and fun introduction to the assorted shapes. -- starred review * Publishers Weekly on WHEN A LINE BENDS . . . A SHAPE BEGINS * In prose reminiscent of the 'Old MacDonald' song, Greene develops an amusing story. . . . A storytime winner. -- starred review * School Library Journal on BARNYARD SONG * A sure-fire hit. . . . Fun, fun, fun. -- starred review * Booklist on LIBRARY MOUSE * Kirk soups up his streamlined oil paintings with comic nuance. The dog characterizations are a stitch, and youngsters will enjoy the subtle jokes. A load of fun. * Publishers Weekly on MY TRUCK IS STUCK *
