For kids who love trucks, here comes the definitive guide to catching and taming one of your own from the creators of the hit picture book How to Train a Train.
Want a pet truck? Rumble up to this handy guidebook offering everything you need to know. Bone up on habitat: monster trucks like abandoned parking lots; moving trucks live in busy neighborhoods; ice-cream trucks and snowplows migrate in the winter. Pick the right breed for your home (a car transporter in a small apartment would not be a wise choice). Learn to identify your truck by its tire tracks, and soon, with the lure of some orange cones, you'll have a loyal vehicle following you home, a happy hum under its hood. With an eighteen-wheeler-size nod to pet-care guides, Jason Carter Eaton and John Rocco put young readers in the driver's seat for a road trip to truck-dreamer bliss.
•A companion volume to the hit picture book, How to Train a Train, which received 4 starred reviews
•Good old-fashioned fun in a fantastic package. A stand-out cover: large images of happy kids with trucks, a nod to gas stations of a by-gone era, foil, and a bright, warm palette will demand face-out display and a browse!Once in the hands, the friendly voice of Mike, the spoof on pet ownership, and the knock-out illustrations by John Rocco will win over parents and children alike.
•In the vehicular pantheon, trucks are more popular than trains, so this volume about truck-as-pet ownership should logically enjoy an even more robust response than its predecessor.
