BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3), EL - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

The story follows children, families, and trucks as they make their way to the library for Big Truck Day. 

The rhyming text and bright, bold illustrations make the book appealing. I like that the story features a library. However, the book left me a little confused. Until I read the description of the book online, I did not realize that the story is about a community book drive and the grand opening of the new bookmobile. There is a concise history of bookmobiles at the end of the book that adds interest.
