Ah, the fun continues in this series of truck stories by the irrepressible Jon Scieszka. This time the cement mixer, Melvin, is worried. He doesn’t want to charge down the hill and leap off the road, hoping to land safely on the other side. Yikes! There’s a bit of The Little Engine That Could in this book and a bit of worrying about when to risk and when to stay safe. Jon Scieszka knows that there are some young listeners out there who are looking for a certain amount of intensity in their books and he is writing directly for that group. So, if your young'un won't sit still for just any book, I urge you to take a look at this series. They may be just the thing to capture the attention of that wiggle worm.
