Age: Toddler-Preschool
Things that go: Truck, loader, excavator
Emotions: Exhaustion meltdown

Three trucks refuse to leave the playground while they are having a fun time, even though their motors are failing, their engines are overheating, and their wipers need a change (I did snicker at this little diaper joke). With understanding and patience, the girl owner of the trucks eventually scoops their broken down bodies up and takes them home to recharge for another day. Perfect text for reading aloud with large illustrations, but I wish the gradual breakdown of the "trucks" was more evident in the illustrations.
