Mister Norton's New Truck

Packed with vehicular chaos and an accumulative text that begs to be read aloud, this is a future classic in the making. One Monday morning, Horace Norton finds that a bear has broken his bicycle. Both of his wheels don't work! How on Earth is he going to get to work? As the week progresses, Mr. Norton tries different vehicles for his journey with limited success: His skates slip too much, a scooter is too small, a wagon is too wobbly, and a bus is too busy! Luckily, Mr. Norton remembers his grandfather's old truck. What could possibly go wrong . . .?
