Little Red—a heroic pickup truck who can fix anything—is determined to help his many truck friends in this autumn-themed seasonal follow up to Little Red.
The Shady Acre community is getting ready for the harvest festival, and there’s lots to do to prepare for it. All the trucks have important jobs—but there are many in need of repair. No worries—just call on Little Red to help, and in the nick of time too!
This preschool offering features trucks of all sizes: Quick Silver Combine, Purple Seeder, Blue Tractor, Green Bandwagon, Yellow Donut Truck, and Orange Hay Ride and reinforces the colors in the color wheel (truck-coded) as well as the colors of autumn.
Reviews
"That ever-obliging truck returns. This time, Little Red and driver Katie, introduced in the Christmas-themed Little Red, help friends on a fall day…. Not only an appealing tribute to fall, this sweet, simple story is about friendly cooperation and kindness. Delightful illustrations pay vivid homage to seasonal foliage, colors, and Halloween…. Truck mavens will 'fall' for this seasonal homage."―Kirkus
"Little Red travels through Shady Acre helping trucks and tractors in need of repair.... Throughout the journey, the leaves keep coming down, leading to a Halloween celebration in the center of town. The vehicles are personified with eyes and mouths making them friendly characters for young readers. The soft painted landscapes show autumn colors in a country setting…. Sure to be popular with tractor and truck fans."―School Library Journal
