The Old Truck

by Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey

Kids' Book of the Week , March 2, 2020

The first book by the Pumphrey brothers has the classic feeling of the old truck (and the way of life) it celebrates, with beautiful pastel prints and a story of technological obsolescence that brings a believably happy ending to the roadside romance of neglected old vehicles. An additional presence is the equally neglected tradition of American American farming that was inspired by their own family history. (Ages 0 to 4)
