Synopsis
Zoom! While playing with his toy truck, a little boy imagines himself driving an eighteen-wheeler through a city, across a bridge, and into the countryside. Along the way, he uses his two-way radio and parks at a truck stop. Finally, he reaches the coast, where he unloads his cargo. His imagination would keep growing . . . but it’s time for dinner!

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K–This simple story takes children on an evenly paced cross-country tour. While playing with his toy, a boy imagines heading off for adventure in a life-size rig. With horn blasting and engine roaring, he sets off through the city, over a bridge, into the country, across a valley, up a mountain, through a tunnel before taking a doughnut break at a truck stop. After munching on his snack, the youngster climbs back into the cab. He continues onward, rolling across a desert, over mountains, across plains, through a forest, and on to the sea. At a harbor, the child unloads his cargo. He quickly returns to reality when his dad calls him for dinner. Minimal text appears on each page. Garofoli's bright spreads, rendered in Adobe illustrator, convey the essence of each geographic locale and extend the short text. The bouncy book jacket depicting the semi rolling across a quilted bedspread will entice youngsters with an interest in trucks. London fans will be looking for this title to accompany A Truck Goes Rattley-Bumpa (Holt, 2005).–Lynn K. Vanca, Akron-Summit County Public Library, Richfield, OH
