Summary

That big truck is stuck! How will the island residents get where they’re going? A tale of community and ingenuity from the celebrated Chris Van Dusen, inspired by a true story。

When a big truck and its big load get stuck on a narrow road, traffic on the little island comes to a halt。 Some cars need to go south and some have to travel north。 How will Meg get to her swim meet? What about Barry’s ballet class? Luckily, the kids come up with an ingenious solution: why not just swap cars? Inspired by an incident that happened on Vinalhaven, Maine, Chris Van Dusen tells a fun tale of resourcefulness and community through clever, rhyming wordplay and whimsical illustrations, sprinkled with plenty of cars and trucks for transportation-loving readers。

My students that love all books with big trucks or heavy machinery will be invested in this right away, but the story itself is very interesting。 At the end, the author states that the story of a huge truck on a very small island is based on a true story。 The disruption to traffic is handled very well by the residents, and that is the best part of the story。 I enjoyed this e-ARC that I read through Edelweiss, the final version is available May 3, 2022
