Jon Scieszka's Trucktown Smash! Crash! is part of a series of stories about trucktown, written by David Shannon, Loren Long, David Gordon and Jon Scieszka. This series is geared towards new readers, or ages three to seven. The books are about characters that are all trucks, but all carry characteristics of preschoolers: crazy, wild, eager little kids that just want to have fun! This particular story is about the trucks Dan and Jack who love to smash and crash! The color used in this story is bright primary colors, mostly. They are all bold and the illustrations are great! The text is not too difficult and words that young readers can relate to and understand when they read. I think this story would be good to read in a younger classroom as well as when at home with children! Little kids love trucks and will probably relate to these characters because they are written with little kid characteristics in mind.
I have looked into this series a little more and I think it is great what these people do! They have a website that I have posted on a previous post that is for trucktown. The website has other activities involving the characteristics of Trucktown as well as a parents and teachers section that will help adults get acquainted with the series and what is about. The website also informs people of when more of the books will be coming out and what is already out. It is great.
