A Christmas town built around twenty trucks

A single doughnut truck sets the scene for a snowy town gradually filled with twenty vehicles, from a snowplow and crane to a semitrailer carrying the Christmas tree. The trucks gather to prepare the holiday celebration, until a mishap with the tree’s star calls for a solution from two siblings. Counting is woven into the accumulating parade of vehicles, while rhymes and detailed holiday preparations give the story its shape. The combination of trucks, a shared seasonal task, and a small problem to solve keeps the focus firmly on the festive scene.

Book overview

"Readers will find themselves pausing to pore over each glorious spread. . . . No preschooler will want to miss out on this heavyweight Christmas story." --School Library Journal (starred review)

One doughnut truck, on a cold winter day, drives into town and parks and stays.

The snowy town is filling up with a procession of trucks of all shapes and sizes, including a snowplow, a crane, a digger, a semitrailer transporting the town's majestic Christmas tree, and even a flatbed carrying Santa's sleigh. All in all, twenty trucks roll in full of sparkle and anticipation, ready to set up the holiday festivities. But when the star being hoisted to the top of the Christmas tree wobbles and crashes to the ground, what could possibly be used to replace it? Thankfully, a pair of siblings scan the scene and come up with the perfect solution. Author Mark Lee and illustrator Kurt Cyrus team up for a buoyant story delivering satisfying rhymes, holiday spirit, and most importantly, twenty trucks for counting.
