First in the Your Things series of board books, this focuses on a truck. The brief text has the second-person narrator speaking directly to the reader about the uses of the truck. The simple but charming illustrations resemble block prints on white backgrounds, showing the truck with two eyes, transporting a dog. Some children may challenge the phrase “It is a red truck” when some may see it as burnt orange. Still, this is sure to be popular and will stand up to repeated readings.
