Monster loves his construction vehicles. They help him dig deep trenches, push dirt and rocks, and carry all kinds of materials around his construction site. But Monster does not like sharing his trucks! No one can touch his bulldozer, fork lift, or crane. So what happens when the reader does exactly what Monster has said NOT to do? Monster is in for a wild and hilarious ride, getting scooped and raised and dumped all over the place. Thankfully, the end result -- after pushing levers, buttons, and gears galore -- is a surprise that's good fun for everyone (especially Monster).

"Plenty of visual comedy [and] the central dump truck is cute to boot." --BCCB

"A story that is sometimes hilarious and always absurd. A treat for vehicle-loving kids." --Booklist

"An engaging combination of the serious and the silly." --Publishers Weekly

From the creators of the absurdly funny picture book How to Eat an Airplane comes a new spin on adopting a pet...truck.

This vehicular spin on pet adoption features an unlikely pet: a dump truck. Kids will not only laugh, but learn.

Just like a new pet, a new dump truck is a heap of responsibility, but it's also loads of fun. Just remember: If you take care of it well, your dump truck will be your forever friend.

Includes tips on: selecting the perfect leash at the hardware store; whether to feed your truck diesel or regular; cleaning up your truck's messes at the dump; socializing with other trucks, and much more.

Peter Pearson and Mircea Catusanu's follow-up to How to Eat an Airplane is clever fun for pet lovers and truck aficionados--whether their pet (or truck) barks, meows, or honks.

Hardcover (1 to 2 lbs)

A simple and fun introduction to beginner science, covering the themes of weather, temperature, plant life, and the animal kingdom. Winter, spring, summer, and fall are each represented by a vibrant outdoor scene revealing seasonal changes, from ponds freezing over, to baby birds leaving their nests for the first time. And with changes in weather come new things to try: it's windy enough to fly a kite and spin pinwheels; it's rainy enough to splash in puddles, use an umbrella, and search for worms; it's snowy enough to build a snowman, go sledding, and drink hot chocolate. But is it warm enough for ice cream? When we reach the bright sun of the summer spread, we hear the answer: Yes it is!
