Hammer and Nails
by Josh Bledsoe (Author) and Jessica Warrick (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Darcy has plans. She and her friend are going to play dress up, do each other’s hair, and polish their nails. Daddy has plans, too. He’s going to read the paper, mow the lawn, and fix the fence. When Darcy’s friend cancels and she’s sure her day is ruined, Daddy suggests that they tackle their to-do lists together with a Darcy-Daddy Day.

Snippet: “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Daddy interrupted. “Give me a chance! Just uncrumple your list and come downstairs. It’s coffee time. We sip. We read. We relax.”

“Can it be chocolate milk for me?”

“Sure thing,” Daddy answered.

Mighty Truck
by Chris Barton (Author) and Troy Cummings (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Meet Clarence, a rickety old truck who goes from average to awesome when an unexpected trip through a mysterious truck wash transforms him.

With pumped-up tires, a revved-up engine, and a squeaky-clean exterior, Clarence becomes a town hero!

Snippet: Everything Clarence did for fun . . .
Somehow seemed to get him dirty.

Not just a little splatter-on-the-mud-flaps dirty.
Really dirty.
REALLY WHEELY DIRTY.
Clarence didn’t mind.

But his boss did.
