Big Truck, Little Island

See if you can guess the clever solution to the dilemma in this beautifully illustrated rhyming story, based on a real incident in Vinalhaven, Maine.
When a big truck and its big load get stuck on a narrow road, traffic on the little island comes to a halt. Some cars need to go south and some have to travel north. How will Meg get to her swim meet? What about Barry's ballet class? Luckily, the kids come up with an ingenious solution!

Julie M

I work in youth services, and have loved children's literature ever since my own childhood introduced me to Charlotte's Web and every single Nancy Drew book published at the time. I especially enjoy picture books, historical fiction, mysteries and narrative nonfiction. When I'm not reading, I enjoy cooking and baking and outdoorsy things like birdwatching, hiking and kayaking.
