With Any Luck, I’ll Drive a Truck
by David Friend (Author) and Michael Rex (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Bulldozers and back-hoes, pavers and plows, trailers and tractors–the world is filled with so many types of trucks! Imagine the fun you could have if you could drive them all! And what if you could bring your best friends along with you?

Snippet: At 2,
when I could reach the seat,
I taught myself to make concrete.

The Legend of Sea Glass

The Legend of Sea Glass
by Trinka Hakes Noble (Author) and Doris Ettlinger (Illustrator)

Booktalk: This original legend explains the origin of sea glass, attributing it to the tears of mermaids, weeping for lives lost at sea.

Snippet: Long ago there was a time when men did not sail the seven seas. Nor did explorers navigate the wide deep oceans in tall ships, searching for distant lands. Even fisherman stayed in shallow water, close to shore.
