Buck And His Truck (Vivian French, Julie Lacome)

Buck and His Truck is part of Walker Starters, the wonderfully fun and friendly series for beginner readers. "Buck's truck is the BEST!" "Larry's lorry is the GREATEST!" Buck the truck-driver and Larry the lorry-driver are rivals. One day they are both asked to do the same job. Could they have more in common than they'd thought? This is a charming and uplifting story told through a range of writing styles, including hand-lettered speech bubbles, postcards and posters. The illustrations, which appear on every page, are lively and stylish, and play an active part in helping children understand the text.
