Dizzy Izzy

(4) K-3 Jon Scieszka's Trucktown series. Illustrated by David Shannon & Loren Long. Also illustrated by David Gordon. Ice-cream truck Izzy "loves to get dizzy"; despite his best efforts being busy and fizzy and skidding in a tizzy, he can't seem to achieve dizziness. The story's rhymes make for an entertaining read-aloud. Worrywart cement mixer Melvin doesn't know who sent him a valentine; inexplicably he questions everyone but the sender. Both volumes are hit-or-miss in terms of coherent plotting. Review covers these Jon Scieszka's Trucktown titles: Dizzy Izzy and Melvin's Valentine.
