My newest book:
TRUCK DRIVER TOM: First Review
This is my newest book, just out. Hooray - first review from Kirkus:
"Trucker Tom's delivery route is an adventure. The day begins at the garage, where Tom and his cute canine partner get their vehicle. They load up on produce and take a scenic journey, through fields, highways, twisty mountain roads, a construction zone, busy villages, over a bright blue river, etc. When the load is safely delivered, Tom and his best friend take a well-deserved meal break at a friendly diner. Then they sack out in the truck stop, in a cozy nook of their vehicle. "Over and out." Wellington's bright gouache illustrations feature solid shapes and an eye-catching bonus in pasted-on photos. An additional bonus comes at the end of the book, with the scores of vehicles featured in the book identified by name. The reader is challenged to go back and find them. Simple but spot-on in its appeal for its target audience. (Picture book. 3-6)"

Yay!!! I just got my copy of Tom, and it's absolutely wonderful! Every
spread is such a fun feast. I can't wait to show it to my first graders.
We've just recently read Apple Farmer Annie and Fire Fighter Frank ('tis
the season), so they are primed and ready for a full-blown author study!
Congratulations on a fabulous edition to the "family."
