H
ere's a rhymed picture book for the youngest truckers,
20 Big Trucks in the Middle of Christmas
by Mark Lee (also author of
20 Big Trucks in the Middle of the Street
). It's festively illustrated by Kurt Cyrus.
T
he story opens as two young sledders watch as '
One doughnut truck, on a cold winter day, / drives into town and parks and stays.
' It's followed by snowplow and sander, tree carrier, digger and crane, 3 carrying lights and decorations, fire and boom trucks, stake truck, 3 carrying a Christmas village, tow truck and flatbed, and one carrying llamas!
O
f course, they're setting up a holiday scene, but can't get the star on the tree - till the youngsters share their great idea. You won't guess what it is. You'll just have to read the book which ends, '
Merry Christmas to mamas and llamas - and you!
