Reviews for Love Is a Truck
With everything from dump trucks to ice-cream trucks, this honey of a title conveys the simple joy of creative play. Thick pages make this a delight to hold for multiple readings either one-on-one in a lap or in a baby program at the library. - School Library Journal, Starred Novesky and Gillingham follow Love Is a Tutu with a lighthearted, vehicle-centric reflection on love. Some of the analogies in Novesky's mostly unrhymed verse work better than others: the idea that 'Love is a loader. Love is a lifter' in one constructed-themed scene has real resonance, compared to lines that just name-check vehicles ('Love is a dump truck, rounded with dirt./ A bulldozer, a digger, a rolling cement mixer'). Gillingham's clean graphics showcase one child's very evident love of toy trucks; the brown-skinned, overalls-clad child's gender isn't apparent, a reminder that truck love is universal. - Publishers Weekly Love IS a truck! At least it is to my son, and this book is right on the money. There's a companion title called Love Is a Tutu, but I'm Team Truck. It's great to see Sara Gillingham bringing out a new book or two too. - Betsy Bird, Collection Development Manager of the Evanston Public Library
