Synopsis
Come along for the ride as Frankie the big rig truck takes us on the job, driving past kiddie cars (school buses) and land yachts (RVs). Hear the horn blow and the wipers schwaat the windshield clean. But, BANG! SHHUUU! Uh-oh: a blow-out! Don't worry, a service truck saves the day so we can get the job done and make a very special delivery. Author Jamie Swenson takes readers from zero to sixty with her fast-talking truck and Ned Young's bright and engaging illustrations are perfect for sharing with the youngest truck enthusiasts in this board-book format. Praise for Big Rig (hardcover edition)
"[T]he story is consistently entertaining . . . and Young (the Zoomer books) fills his bright, eye-catching scenes with myriad details to explore."
-Publishers Weekly
"Youngsters who meet Frankie will be looking for him on every highway, as he's a friend they won't soon forget."
-Kirkus Reviews
"A friendly, peppy addition to the canon of books for truck-obsessed tots...."
-Booklist
"[A] fun read-aloud for toddlers and a good storytime participation book as well."
-School Library Journal

From Booklist
Frankie is a big truck with an even bigger personality. The lightning bolt on the side of his shiny blue trailer shows that he is ready to roll, and the loopy chrome grin on his grill shows that he is going to love every minute of it. There’s lots to look at as Frankie takes on cargo and then hits the road, passing a waterpark, a farm, and a retro diner before reaching his destination—Dinosaur Land! Speckled with convincing onomatopoeia and sound effects (“URRRRNNNT-URRRRNNT!” goes Frankie’s horn) and jazzy CB slang (handily defined in a glossary), the text has an unpredictable edge, making it a vibrant read-aloud, while sharp realistic paintings with lots of background detail will capture prereaders’ attentions. A friendly, peppy addition to the canon of books for truck-obsessed tots that already includes Kate McMullan’s I Stink! (2002), David Gordon’s The Three Little Rigs (2005), and Chris Gall’s Dinotrux (2009). And as Frankie advises, “Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down!” Preschool-Grade 1. --Paula Willey
