The Cars and Trucks Book
by Todd Parr (Author)
From bestselling and beloved author Todd Parr, a new book about all of the different ways that cars and trucks help people and have fun.
Some trucks help on the farm.
Some trucks help in the city.
Some cars like to drive in the snow.
And some cars like to drive to the beach.
All cars and trucks LOVE to be on the ROAD!
Todd Parr brings his trademark bright colors and bold lines to his new book about cars, trucks, and the occasional bus. In a fun collection of silly images, Todd explores all of the ways vehicles have an impact on our daily lives, while weaving in messages about positivity, the environment, and safety. Readers will laugh along with the whole four-wheeled gang!

Working with his trademark bright colors, heavy lines, and smiley-faced people and animals, Parr celebrates automobiles. Short, occasionally rhyming phrases categorize different vehicles, which Parr renders with sharp teeth, wide grins, and friendly drivers. Parr's silly lines are softly tongue-twisting: "Some trucks haul dirt./ Some trucks play in the dirt./ Some trucks carry trucks./ Some trucks carry ducks" (a duck driver leads passengers on a "Duck Truck" tour). A "ski patrol" car drives in the snow, while a blue race car with a yellow dog driver heads to the beach. Everybody knows that cars and trucks get lots done, but an endnote from Parr reminds readers "it's also good to take the bus or ride a bike." Ages 3-6. (Dec.)
