Wonderlit Review

Little Blue Truck Leads the Way brings the beloved friendly truck to the bustling city. In this picture book, Blue and his animal friends encounter a traffic jam, and it's Blue's calm demeanor and helpful spirit that guide everyone through the chaos. The story gently reinforces themes of community, problem-solving, and the importance of a kind voice. While the format is listed as "chapter book," the page count and series style suggest a picture book ideal for read-alouds. It's a comforting read for children aged 4-7, offering a familiar character in a new, exciting setting.
