<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A little blue truck finds his way out of a jam, with a bit of help from his friends.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Beep! Beep! Beep!</i> Meet Blue. A muddy country road is no match for this little pick up--that is, until he gets stuck while pushing a dump truck out of the muck. Luckily, Blue has made a pack of farm animal friends along his route. And they're willing to whatever it takes to get their pal back on the road. <br>Filled with truck sounds and animals noises, here is a rollicking homage to the power of friendship and the rewards of helping others.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Schertle's (<i>All You Need for a Beach</i>) rhyming stanzas are succinct, and she gives readers plenty of opportunities to chime in with animal and vehicle noises; colored, standout fonts highlight these sounds for extra effect. McElmurry's (<i>Mad About Plaid</i>) gouaches recall the heyday of Golden Books in their combination of vividness, naïveté and sweetness, and her rich palette achieves verisimilitude that is no less satisfying for being nostalgic. --<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review (4/28/08)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>ALICE SCHERTLE</b> is an award-winning poet whose much-loved books for children include <i>All You Need for a Beach </i>and <i>All You Need for a Snowman</i>.
