School Library Journal
PreS—Hard Hat Pete and his little dump truck spend the day hauling rocks, collecting debris, and unloading it at the landfill. Each spread has a lyrical, rhyming verse that begins, "I'm a little dump truck" and goes on to explain the day's activities. "I'm a little dump truck/leaving through the gate, /riding down the highway/to another state." The digital artwork will appeal to young children, who will look for the face depicted on each of the various trucks. The endpapers show all of the vehicles that play a part in the illustrations. The heavy-duty pages are perfect for curious youngsters. Preschoolers will love this book. - Sarah Polace, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma, OH
