trucks

By Jon Scieszka

The first book in Jon Scieszka's new series, Trucktown, Smash! Crash! tells the story of two rowdy trucks - Jack and Dan - who love to smash/crash into things. Jack and Dan speed around town, fleeing a booming voice from above, and proceed to smash/crash into everything they find.

This is a great book for read aloud - the kids in storytime loved it. Jon Scieszka heads the "Guys Read" initiative that encourages boys of all ages to read. Scieszka's books include the Time Warp Trio series and a bunch of fractured fairytales (Stinky Cheeseman, Frog Prince Continued).
