Review

Clarence is normally a dirty truck, but when his boss insists that he hit the truck wash and a thunder storm comes through, something magical happens and Clarence exits clean, shiny, and powerful. In other words, totally unrecognizable. Much like Clark Kent exiting the phone booth, Clarence has become a super charged superhero truck. He saves the day many times over but, once he is dirty again, returns to plain old Clarence, which he finds he much prefers. The town of Axleburg, filled with all sorts of truck traffic, is portrayed as a busy and colorful metropolis. Any little one that loves all things mobile will enjoy this offering.

Overall Book Score: good
