CHUGGA-CHUGGA CHOO-CHOO: Kids love trains, and Kevin Lewis and illustrator Daniel Kirk's Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo will do nothing but encourage the obsession. "Sun's up! / Morning's here. / Up and at 'em, / engineer," cheerfully begins this rhyming picture book. As the simple large-lettered text chugs along, Daniel Kirk brings a child's playroom and train set to life with bold, bright illustrations reminiscent of his work in Bigger. In the course of the book, the toys bustle about to make sure the steam engine is loaded up with freight and finds its way (through the country, 'round the mountains, into tunnels, and across the river) to its destination--the city. There the "sleepy-sleepy choo-choo" rests, right next to a tired little boy, until the next day's work begins: "To theroundhouse/ you are bound. / Good night, engine, / safe and sound." MY TRUCK IS STUCK: Rotten luck. Can't go! My truck is stuck. Tug and tow. Two engines roar. But the truck won't go. Not one inch more. Does anyone know how to make my stuck truck go? In this lyrical read-aloud, young truck drivers are introduced to the ins and outs of hauling, beeping, and repairing-get ready for a fun ride! Kevin Lewis dreamed of driving trucks, trains, and tractors when he was a little boy. As an adult he decided to write about them instead and vroomed onto the scene with Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo and The Lot at the End of My Block. Daniel Kirk is the author and illustrator of several books for children, including his own Go!, Snow Family, and Hush, Little Alien.
