Book Overview

by Jon Klassen (Author), Jon Klassen (Illustrator)

"[A] standout board book series starter. . . .Minimalism motors toward an expansive experience in this smart work that puts youngest readers in the driver's seat." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

From Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen comes the first board book in the Your Things series for the youngest of children.

This is your truck.
It is yours to have.

Your truck is red, but it could be other colors too. It can carry things around, like a chair and table, a dog, or a horse. It will wait for you until you tell it to go, then it will go wherever you want, as far as you want, whenever you want. At the end of the day it will sleep, and you can sleep, too. Jon Klassen brings his minimalist's touch to a soothing story of a simple object that a child can command and befriend, one that is there whenever the child chooses to visit it. Building on the quiet but evocative world he created in Your Farm, Your Forest, and Your Island, Jon Klassen invites young children to consider more things that are theirs and theirs alone, reinforcing that they have a right to things like solitude, exploration, and companionship.
