A large red trailer truck carrying tricycles provides the visual thread through this wordless picture book. Its route unfolds across fog, truck stops, and crowded highways, making transportation and the changing scenes of a road journey the book’s central material. With no written narration, the illustrations carry the sequence, leaving the details of the trip to be followed through the pictures.

Book overview

A bright, classic book for truck-obsessed toddlers. This Caldecott Honor Book is from the beloved author-artist Donald Crews.

In this wordless picture book, a large red trailer truck packed with tricycles moves through pages of fog, truck stops, and crowded highways. "Beautifully executed and appealing."--School Library Journal

This is an ideal book to share with preschoolers, both at home and in the classroom--especially those who love books about transportation!

Truck is written and illustrated by the celebrated creator of Freight Train, Bigmama's, School Bus, and many other classic and award-winning picture books for young children. Truck was named a Caldecott Honor Book by the American Library Association and was also named an ALA Notable Book for Children.
