Where Do Diggers Celebrate Christmas? (Where Do...)

Rural and urban settings, indoors and out, day and night, will encourage kids to stretch their imaginations. For young truck enthusiasts.

In the fourth of her vehicle-themed series, Sayres theorizes how different types of trucks—forklifts, mixers, cranes, tanker trucks, and others—might celebrate Christmas. She writes in pleasantly rhyming verse: "Where do tractors celebrate Christmas/ after plowing row by row?" Slade's artwork shows the bright-eyed, anthropomorphic trucks hanging Christmas decorations, sipping eggnog, and cuddling up beneath mistletoe. All the trucks celebrate together at a snowy construction site until, finally, the trucks come closer to home, appearing toy-size under a tree. Beyond the playful depictions of trucks indulging in Christmas cheer, readers might especially enjoy details about the heavy lifting the trucks do during their day's work.
