This
ready-to-read, level one picture book has the Trucktown crew
wondering what is inside the nicely wrapped gift box someone
left on Kat's doorstep. Gabby thinks the box contains a new
horn while Rosie is convinced it must be a new, green wrecking
ball.
Other Trucktown characters believe the mystery gift is a set
of new tires, lights or even a siren. Less practical suggestions
range from a jewel, a teddy bear or perhaps some flowers.
Then everyone gathers around Kat and they all chant, 'Open
it, open it, open it now!' But guess what? Kat decides not
to because she loves all the mystery surrounding the box.
For a beginning reader this short story is easy enough so
that the child should be able to master the narrative rather
quickly. There's rather an unappealing ink smell that accompanies
the book when you flip the pages. but anyone who is a Trucktown
fan will probably be willing to overlook that small production
quirk.
