    "A tasty treat on trucks and takeout." 

    —Kirkus

    "There's plenty of personality in Todd's quirky fleet of trucks." 

    —Publishers Weekly

    "Readers will be inspired to write a poem or design a food truck for a favorite food that's 'rib-stickin', finger-lickin', or toothpick-needin'." 

    —School Library Journal 

     

    "What will draw in ravenous readers are Todd's pen-and-ink illustrations: busy, thick-lined depictions of each heavily themed vehicle, each popping with the kind of detail that will make kids wish there were toy versions."
