Items related to Love Is a Truck
Synopsis
Graphically appealing two-color illustrations pair perfectly with a spare, rhythmic ode to beloved trucks of all kinds—from fire trucks to dump trucks to ice cream trucks, the sweetest trucks of all—and to the kid who loves and collects them, Love Is a Truck follows Love Is a Tutu (our ballet-inspired ode to tutus and toe shoes) in our Love Is series. A smaller square format with thick, sturdy pages, make these little picture books perfect for young readers, ages 2-6, and for reading aloud again and again.

Review
"With everything from dump trucks to ice-cream trucks, this honey of a title conveys the simple joy of creative play. Thick pages make this a delight to hold for multiple readings either one-on-one in a lap or in a baby program at the library." – School Library Journal, Starred
"Novesky and Gillingham follow Love Is a Tutu with a lighthearted, vehicle-centric reflection on love. Some of the analogies in Novesky’s mostly unrhymed verse work better than others: the idea that 'Love is a loader. Love is a lifter' in one constructed-themed scene has real resonance, compared to lines that just name-check vehicles ('Love is a dump truck, rounded with dirt./ A bulldozer, a digger, a rolling cement mixer'). Gillingham’s clean graphics showcase one child’s very evident love of toy trucks; the brown-skinned, overalls-clad child’s gender isn’t apparent, a reminder that truck love is universal." – Publishers Weekly
"Love IS a truck! At least it is to my son, and this book is right on the money. There’s a companion title called Love Is a Tutu, but I’m Team Truck. It’s great to see Sara Gillingham bringing out a new book or two too." – Betsy Bird, Collection Development Manager of the Evanston Public Library
