librarybonanza 's review for:
Trucktown Race A to Z
by David Gordon, Jon Scieszka, Jon Scieszka, David Shannon
Age: Toddler-Kindergarten
Concept Skill: ABCs
Things that go: Trucks
Every great author has his bad apple. The artwork is fun but the rhythm of the text is chaotic and hard to read, and the emphasis on the letters lacks and feels secondary to MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND ACTION VROOOOOOOM! The only word for K is the truck's name (Kat) and Scieszka uses "wrecker" to describe the R truck which can cause confusion. And, adding more confusion, scary Big Rig is supposedly playing a xylophone, because we all know this is the ONLY way to include X in an alphabet book.
All in all a jumbled mess of a book.
