This is a fun children’s book to read aloud. The next morning, everyone is looking for the truck that saved the day. The entire city is dug out, thanks to SUPERTRUCK. It’s SUPERTRUCK to the rescue! He plows snow faster than a speeding bullet. Gone are the glasses, replaced by a huge snow plow on the front of the truck. He quickly disappears into a garage and emerges as SUPERTRUCK. All of the trucks are stuck in the snow, unable to get anywhere, except for…you guessed it - the garbage truck. No one really pays much attention to the garbage truck.īut guess what happens next? A winter blizzard hits, which creates a real emergency situation. Of course, this job is not nearly as glamorous as what the other city trucks can do. The fire truck can put out fires, the tow truck can rescue stranded vehicles and the bucket truck fixes power lines. The garbage truck wears “Clark Kent” style glasses as he goes about his daily routine of picking up the trash. Parents will appreciate the author’s nod to Clark Kent (Superman) in the illustrations. My 3-year-old begs for instant repeat readings. They love trucks – so this book by Stephen Savage is right up their alley. This children’s book is recommended for ages 2-6 years old.
