Little Truck written by Tarō Gomi tells a story of a bright pink truck as he is going fast, climbing hills, and braving dark tunnels.

Each double-page spread depicts a scene from Little Truck's journey and is accompanied by one to three sentences of simple text, which often reads as if the bigger truck were speaking with Little Truck.

The illustrations are simple, but effective. Squares, rectangles, and circles are used to create the bodies of the trucks, dots and dashes were used to create eyes, mouths, and rosy cheeks to give them personality.

The sturdy card pages have a nice glossy finish, perfect for the tiniest readers. ( )
