Food Trucks! by Mark Todd-OPTIONAL

Todd, Mark  Food Trucks!  Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2014.  $16.99  PICTURE BOOK  Content: G.  

This is a book featuring different types of food trucks-ranging from taco trucks, breakfast trucks to pretzel trucks.  Each page layout has a different kind of food truck with a cartoonish detailed drawing of the food truck.  There is a poem about the food that truck makes and they usually rhyme.  Each page also has 3-4 little clouds with facts about the type of food sold in the truck or about the most famous food truck that sells the food item featured.  

My kids love trucks, so they were interested by the cover of this book, but they were disappointed because food trucks aren’t the same as truck trucks.  This book is mostly about food.  The bright illustrations are detailed and will draw younger readers, but the information inside was almost too much and it lost their attention.
