<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Tony the eighteen-wheeler is strong! Super fast! And always right on time! So what happens when disaster strikes...?"--Page 4 of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Trucks! Counting! Tire-eating aliens! This wonderful, rhyming, super-silly book has it ALL...including Bob Staake's awesome artwork.</b> <p/>THE RUNAWAY NO-WHEELER is a clever spin on a counting book and the perennial favorite, a book starring trucks. Tony is a sturdy, long-hauling 18-wheeler with a delivery to make, but many obstacles are in the way -- from potholes to slime to rescue missions to aliens' space rockets. In the style of counting classics like Dr. Seuss' <i>Ten Apples Up on Top</i> -- though in this case, subtractive counting -- Tony finds himself losing wheel after wheel with each hurdle he encounters. Will he be able to make his delivery?<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Peter Stein has been a highly successful writer, editor, designer, and art director for more than twenty years, and has created at least ninety-seven truckloads of greeting cards. He lives with his family in Northern California. <p/>Bob Staake has authored and/or illustrated over seventy books, including <i>The Red Lemon</i>, one of the <i>New York Times </i>10 Best Illustrated Books of 2006. A frequent cover illustrator for<i> The New Yorker</i>, Bob's cover entitled Reflection commemorating Barack Obama's election was named by <i>TIME</i> as #1 in their list of 10 Top Magazine Covers of 2008 and is the most popular <i>New Yorker</i> cover of all-time. Perhaps even more famously, his maternal grandfather invented the crinkle-cut french fry!
