A Truck Named Tony

by M. Jane Hawkins, David Barrow (Illustrator)

Overview

Tony spends every day in the showroom, watching cars and trucks go by. He’s never been outside the showroom. He dreams of driving over bumpy roads and through tall grass, like the purple truck with huge tires, a winch, and flashing lights.

One day, a man takes Tony for a test drive. Tony is so happy! Until the driver brings him back. Day after day, the same thing happens.

Will Tony ever drive down bumpy roads and through tall grass? Will his dream ever come true?
