Big Wheel On The Road! The Runaway No Wheeler by Peter Stein
Tony was a rugged truck who had a load to haul.He'd load his rig and hit the road without a hitch or stall.
But there's many a slip between start and end of trip... when you're on the road.
But it was a not much time till he slipped on some slime. There goes one wheel!
Then a pothole made one tire bounce off and fly high. It's off the road and gone!
And there's many a way to lose a tire this day. He dodges baby ducks and loses two wheels--Bad luck! He just misses some chicks, and finds he'd lost six! There's many a swerve and many a skitter, but Tony The Truck is not a quitter!
At last after many mishaps and with no wheels left at all, he skids to a stop right at the end of his haul.There's a final visual joke in store, in Peter Stein's The Runaway No-wheeler (Viking,2020). With the noted comic artist Bob Staake's illustrations on board for this wild ride, this is a fun read for young motorheads who get revved up by tales of truck and truckers.
Says School Library Journal, "...an upbeat tempo and an impeccable sense of rhythm."
