"Join Frankentruck, Zombie Truck, Ghost Truck,
and more as they race to the finish line.
But one of these trucks isn't quite who you think.
Who will win the monster truck race?"
Monster Trucks is a cute childrens book about a race that involves "monster" trucks where the trucks are actually different Halloween characters such as a werewolf, Frankenstein, zombie, ghost, and a vampire! Right as the race begins a small blue bus decides to enter the race and compete against the "monsters."
I love how the little blue bus is not scared of these monster trucks at all! She races ahead of all of them and shows that she is brave and determined! The ending of the story has a cute surprise for the reader and the rest of the monster trucks!
The story is cute and catchy and a perfect read for the Halloween season and shows kids that no matter what size you are, big or small, you can still win the race!! I highly recommend this cute story for parents and kids to enjoy during the spooky (but not scary) Halloween month!!
