Celebrates a child' s love for a variety of trucks, from fire engines to cement mixers to ice cream trucks. Graphically appealing two-color illustrations pair perfectly with a spare, rhythmic ode to beloved trucks of all kinds-from fire trucks to dump trucks to ice cream trucks, the sweetest trucks of all-and to the kid who loves and collects them, Love Is a Truck follows Love Is a Tutu (our ballet-inspired ode to tutus and toe shoes) in our Love Is series. A smaller square format with thick, sturdy pages, make these little picture books perfect for young readers, ages 2-6, and for reading aloud again and again.
"With everything from dump trucks to ice-cream trucks, this honey of a title conveys the simple joy of creative play. Thick pages make this a delight to hold for multiple readings either one-on-one in a lap or in a baby program at the library. " - School Library Journal, Starred "Novesky and Gillingham follow Love Is a Tutu with a lighthearted, vehicle-centric reflection on love. Some of the analogies in Novesky' s mostly unrhymed verse work better than others: the idea that ' Love is a loader. Love is a lifter' in one constructed-themed scene has real resonance, compared to lines that just name-check vehicles (' Love is a dump truck, rounded with dirt. / A bulldozer, a digger, a rolling cement mixer' ). Gillingham' s clean graphics showcase one child' s very evident love of toy trucks; the brown-skinned, overalls-clad child' s gender isn' t apparent, a reminder that truck love is universal. " - Publishers Weekly "Love IS a truck! At least it is to my son, and this book is right on the money. There' s a companion title called Love Is a Tutu, but I' m Team Truck. It' s great to see Sara Gillingham bringing out a new book or two too. " - Betsy Bird, Collection Development Manager of the Evanston Public Library
