Duck in the Truck
By Jez Alborough
The Story
A duck driving his truck gets stuck fast in the mud, and it will take friends pitching in together to pull him free.
Why It's Special
For toddlers who love vehicles and rhyme in equal measure, this is a muddy, rollicking rescue that rewards them both.
- Big idea: Getting unstuck — literally or otherwise — takes friends pulling together.
- Vibes: Bouncy, muddy, rhyming, and full of momentum.
Perfect For Kids Who
- enjoy trucks and other vehicles
