Also illustrated by David Gordon. Ice-cream truck Izzy "loves to get dizzy"; despite his best efforts being busy and fizzy and skidding in a tizzy, he can't seem to achieve dizziness. The story's rhymes make for an entertaining read-aloud. Worrywart cement mixer Melvin doesn't know who sent him a valentine; inexplicably he questions everyone but the sender. Both volumes are hit-or-miss in terms of coherent plotting.
