The Happy Man and His Dump Truck

This is very old fashioned. The story is that man gives farm animals a ride in the back of his dump truck. He make the dumper go up and the animals slide down. Wheeee! My son gets a kick out of this as it combines his two favorite things: slides and trucks. There are not too many words on each page. The style of writing is very simple.
This book is probably politically incorrect, though, as the animals don’t wear seat belts and they get into a unknown man’s truck. (I would prefer their farmer be the driver of the truck.) If this bothers you, you shouldn’t buy this book.

What a joy it is to see this book again. Many, many wonderful books were read to me and my sisters as children in the 1950’s. But this delightful wacky tale, so full of movement and warmth, remains the most beloved of all. Thanks to the publishers for reprinting it and to those who wrote of their own memories.
