Toddler-PreS–It’s Christmas time, and the tow truck, or “Wrecker” is “really great at decking the halls.” The Wrecker helps to load the trees with bulbs and hanging lights, pull carts of gifts, and wrap presents. Singing carols and towing cookies for Santa are also on the agenda. “But after all that, when push comes to pull, Wreckers remember what makes Christmas full.” This board book will be a big hit with young fans of vehicles. Colorful and fun illustrations highlight the message of helping friends and the Christmas spirit that comes from doing rather than getting.
VERDICT An adorable addition to most board book collections, especially those in need of uplifting holiday stories.
