Trucktown: Dizzy Izzy by Jon Scieszka - OPTIONAL

Scieszka, Jon  Trucktown: Dizzy Izzy  Illustrated by David Shannon, Loren Long and David Gordon  Simon Spotlight, 2010.  $16.99  EARLY READER Content: G.  

Izzy is an ice cream truck that likes to get dizzy.  After each attempt to get dizzy, the book asks, “But is he?”.  Then Izzy goes on another adventure to get dizzy.  Eventually at the end Izzy goes down a circular hill and obviously is dizzy.  Then the book asks if he is fuzzy—hinting at the ways Izzy could get fuzzy.  This is a boring story line with rhyming sentences.  The plus side is that a new reader will easily sound out the rhyming words with the short sentences.  

EL (K-3)-OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
