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.
