Description

Get ready for Big Truck Day! Celebrate trucks, reading, sharing, and community with award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author Rosanne Parry and debut illustrator Niki Stage. Big Truck Day is a wonderful choice for readers who love vehicles of all kinds and for fans of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site and Little Blue Truck. Told in a lively rhyming text, two parallel stories follow children and drivers motoring to the library for a very special event: a book drive! Join friends and neighbors of all ages as they salute big trucks, great books, and community helpers . . . and stay for the reveal of the new library bookmobile made possible by book donations from the community. Hooray! With New York Times-bestselling author Rosanne Parry's irresistible text and debut illustrator Niki Stage's vibrant and detailed illustrations, Big Truck Day is a celebration of libraries, books, communities, and things that go. Includes a note with archival photographs about the history of bookmobiles.
