Also illustrated by David Shannon. After a big snowfall, Trucktown has a snow day. Jack and friends (all trucks) have fun slipping and sliding, building a snow truck, and having snowball fights. In the end, all the streets have been cleared. Frenetic illustrations feature trucks with personality. The text, though full of word repetition and simple sentences, is printed in a type and design that may be difficult for newer readers.

PreS-Gr 1 "Monday. Snow. Tuesday. Snow. Wednesday. 'Snow day?' asks Jack." The red flatbed truck and his big-wheeled buddies roll out to play and clear the streets in this energetic story. The anthropomorphic vehicles skate and slide, making a snow truck and throwing snowballs. After all their fun, the streets are clean and they are ready to return to their garages. The vocabulary is appropriately limited and repetitive, and the dynamic illustrations capture youngsters' attention and encourage independent reading. Sure to be popular with truck lovers, this title is a good addition to beginning-reader collections. Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH
