Reach for this book when your child is fascinated by the roar of engines or needs a confidence boost about staying calm when things go wrong.

Along the way, children are introduced to the vibrant world of the highway, complete with rhythmic language and fun truck-driver slang. The book emphasizes the pride of a job well done and the importance of community helpers, like the service truck that provides a quick fix. It is an ideal choice for building vocabulary and encouraging a sense of resilience in preschool-aged children.
