Trucks can travel almost anywhere day or night, but best of all trucks can hiss and squeal. Trucks can carry all sorts of things from good food to eat to furniture. Rhyming text by London and bright colorful illustrations by Roche are sure to hold the attention of young ones. This fast-paced book will be great for storytimes or one-on-one sharing.

Book cover Duck's Key: Where Can it Be?
Jez Alborough (2005) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Jez Alborough
Audience: Toddlers, Preschool
Category: Humor, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


The well-loved, but often scatter- brained duck from fun books like Duck in a Truck stars in his own lift- the- flap book. Duck thinks he has lost his key, but really Frog has taken Duck’s key and engages readers in a game of hide-and-seek. Duck asks readers if the key is in the flowerpot, underneath the mat, in the mailbox, or hidden in other places. Children have the opportunity to lift flaps showing Frog underneath answering Duck’s questions in rhyming text while staying one step ahead of Duck. Find out what happens when Duck finds his key, but leaves something else important behind! The colorful illustrations along with the interactive nature make this a great book for young children.
