My newest book:
Inside TRUCK DRIVER TOM
Since I just had a postcard made and am sending them out, I thought I would put a few pictures from inside the book here.
The book is a day-in-the-life of Trucker Tom. He picks up his load of fruits and vegetables at a farm and then is on his way...
He goes on highways, up and down mountains...through a village...
Across a huge bridge...to the city...
After Tom delivers his load to "Kelly's Super Deli" (the book is dedicated to my friend Kelly and her son Jack who loved trucks when he was little!)... he meets his trucker friends at his favorite diner...
And then he sleeps in his truck at the truck stop: Good night - Over and Out!
There are MANY different kinds of trucks in the book - At the end of the book there is a glossary which I hope will be fun for kids!

I hope you will look for the book in your library or bookstore: Enjoy!
Wonderful pictures, Monica. The landscapes and colors and all the objects,
houses and what people might be doing here and there throughout the
pictures must be a delight for a child to wander (and wonder!) through.
Heck, it was a delight for me too!
Thank you, Mark! I worked on these pictures the summer I was in Copenhagen.
I was so happy being there and I hope some of that rubbed off on my
pictures!
Monica,
I just shared Truck Driver Tom with two first grade boys (Kurtis & Drew)
today. They loved all the different trucks and the combination of art and
photos. I helped them make their own trucks from tagboard. Then they cut
out pictures of food from the newspaper and glued them on their truck to
look like the trucks in your book. It was great fun. Thanks for such an
entertaining and educational book.
Best wishes,
