Description

Little Blue Truck is back for another adventure--now available in Spanish!
Zooom! Wooeeee . . . ! "Make way!" The big city sure is a speedy, noisy place for a country truck like Blue. Everywhere Blue looks, he sees buses, police cars, taxis, vans, a street sweeper, and even the mayor’s limousine. With everyone pushing to be first, soon there’s a giant traffic jam! But even a wrangle-tangle is no match for El camioncito Azul, who comes to the rescue in true Blue style.Brimming with bright colors, sounds, and city energy, this adventure makes working together and taking turns more fun than ever.

Praise for El Camioncito Azul Abre El Camino: Little Blue Truck Leads the Way (Spanish edition)

". . . big, swooshing street sweeper; the taxi with screeching brakes; the busy police car; the frowning bus. The angry traffic standoffs and the small truck’s triumph will be welcome fuel for many preschoolers’ imaginative play."--Booklist "It's in the fusion of the old-fashioned with the modern-eclectic--one man in the crowd listens to an iPod--that the book's artistry shines."--Publisher's Weekly
