review 1: One ice-cream truck selling everything sweet breaks down and blocks the middle of our street. If you’re a little boy on a bike, an ice-cream truck on your street is always a welcome sight. But what if the truck breaks down and blocks the mail truck behind it (now there are two), not to mention a third truck carrying hay? One by one, trucks of all types and sizes and functions are sure to pile up behind, offering ample opportunity for ogling — and counting. And maybe the boy’s idea for putting one of the trucks to good use might even save the day!
review 2: Riding his bike along his familiar city street, a young boy witnesses the breakdown of an ice cream truck. This, in turn, causes several other trucks to be stuck since there is not enough room to go aro... moreund. I loved the fact that he solved the problem in a creative way and the inclusion of different types of trucks including a tow truck, a mail truck, and one carrying pigs. The rhyming text and softly-hued illustrations are interesting enough to keep young readers' attention even while they count all those trucks and wheels that fill the book's pages. The book captures perfectly a slice of life from an urban landscape. The only reason I didn't give it more stars is the fact that I've read other picture books just like this one. less
