School Library Journal

PreS-K—One evening, Little Blue Truck and his friend Toad are driving when a storm approaches. Blue and Toad race home to their garage, but soon their farm animal friends—Goat, Hen, Goose, Cow, Duck, and Pig—join them to get out of the rain. Soon, the rain and thunder dissipate and Blue drives his friends home, until he and Toad return to the garage and wish each other goodnight. With bouncy rhymes and delightful characters, the text is succinct and sprightly and the bold illustrations feature vivid, eye-catching colors, which will draw in young readers. The rhymes flow easily, making this a fun choice for a weather-themed storytime. VERDICT Great to read on a stormy day. Fans of Little Blue Truck and new readers alike will be charmed by this picture book adventure.—Laura J. Giunta, Garden City Public Library, NY
