TRUCK IN THE MUCK
Coming July 15th!
Fans of Doreen Cronin and Mo Willems will love this hilarious picture book about a duck who gets stuck in the mud, but winds up having a party when he changes his perspective.
Duck is making his way to a playdate with friends when a sudden rainstorm turns the trip into a sticky situation and Duck's truck gets stuck. But what luck! Duck’s friends arrive just in time to help. When that doesn’t work, Duck must think outside the box in order to save the playdate. Truck in the Muck reminds readers that sometimes the problem doesn’t need a solution, just a change in the way you look at it.
Bouncy, rhyming text introduces readers to phonics and decodable skills.
