Tony the eighteen-wheeler truck is trying to make a delivery when he keeps losing wheels due to various mishaps. Tony is determined to make his delivery on time even though it seems impossible. 

 Large bright illustrations help make Tony’s story fun. The rhyming storyline was nice but simple. It’s not on the same par as The Little Engine that Could despite some similarities.
