Duck in the Truck
This is a big board book called Duck in the Truck by Jez Alborough, published by Kane Miller Book Publishers. This board book measures 8.5x7.75x0.8 inches. With 30 pages of colorful pictures that are bound to catch the attention of any toddlers, this board book is bigger and thicker than most other board books. Each page has big pictures and just a sentence to read. You know the story by looking at the pictures rather than reading the text.
What is the story of Duck in the Truck?
In this board book, Duck is driving home in a red truck but the truck was stuck so the Duck was trying to move it when a Sheep passed by. Other animals passed by too and they all tried to help Duck. Eventually, the animals were successful at helping to unstuck the truck and Duck drove away leaving all the other animals who helped him stuck instead. So, the story is happy ending for Duck but not happy ending for the other good hearted animals who helped him.
