Spangler, Brie. The Grumpy Dump Truck. Alfred A. Knopf (Random House), 2009. $15.99. Bertrand was a grumpy dump truck. He honked, yelled, and grumbled. One day Bertrand runs into a porcupine named Tilly who accidently pokes him with one of her quills. She tries to explain, but grouchy Bertrand won’t listen. Tilly pulls out the quill and removes several other items that had been stuck in the dump truck, like a wrench and a screwdriver. Bertrand feels better and behaves nicer. The illustrations are bright and simple and the word bubbles give it a cartoon-like feel. EL-OPTIONAL. Samantha, Public Librarian.
