Blue leaves the country and drives straight into the city, where everything is faster, louder and more certain that it should go first. Buses, taxis, a street sweeper, the mayor's limousine, all of them pushing until nothing moves at all.

Then one small country truck sorts out a jam that a whole city could not, in rhyme, at read aloud speed. It is the second Little Blue Truck book and the one that makes taking turns feel like the clever move rather than the rule. Hardcover, forty pages, with Jill McElmurry's warm painted art on every spread.
