Matthew's Truck

24 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2269-9 $8.99
(4) PS Super Sturdy Picture Book series. Illustrated by Hideko Takahashi. Simple text describes the imagined journey of Matthew's toy truck: "it explores green, leafy forests... / and sneaks under dark, shadowy bridges" while the bright, acrylic illustrations show the truck (with Matthew as driver) navigating around potted plants and under kitchen chairs. The "sturdy" pages of the pleasant but mild story probably won't have to endure repeated readings.
