)
Jack Truck and his best friend Dump Truck Dan are spending the day doing their favorite thing… Smashing and crashing throughout the whole town! Along the way, they meet up with their friends and give us a rollicking tour! But when a mysterious shadow falls and a strange voice calls, is the duo in trouble? Or has a new friend come to town to join in all the smashing fun?
The New York Times had this to say about the illustrations in Smash! Crash! done by David Shannon, Loren Long and David Gordon. “Though digitally rendered, they retain an appealing sketchy quality, and their bright primary colors are as insistent as wrapping paper is to a 3-year-old.”
