Reviews
"These monster trucks really are monsters, and their race is sure to get cheering children on the edges of their seats...monster-truck fans won't want to miss this Halloween showdown." -- Kirkus Reviews "Wragg creates some wicked vehicular hybrids...and eerie green skies and yellow moonlight set the stage for full-throttle Halloween fun." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In the energetic rhyming text...the action never stops. Vivid colors and textures give the cartoony acrylic and digital illustrations a bold and lively (despite the undead) look." -- The Horn Book "Bright, bold illustrations bring characters like Zombie Truck, Frankentruck, and Werewolf Truck to life...with lots of movement in the text and on the pages, this is a quick seasonal storytime selection that is sure to be popular around Halloween. Monstrous fun!" -- School Library Journal
