PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
It's an animal with an engine. Or is it a car with floppy ears and a wet nose? This is the world of TruckDogs.
Description
In a far-off desert world remarkably similar to outback Australia, evolution has taken an unexpected turn. The dominant life form is a creature covered in fur but with living steel panels beneath. It gnaws on bones and sniffs lamp posts but fills up on oil, brake fluid and petrol. And it's wonderfully clever with its wheels and wing mirrors – able to do just about anything, in fact – which is lucky since it hasn't got any arms or legs.
Critic Reviews
'Lovers of Graeme's timeless work will delight ... and kids will adore the onomatopoeia.' (on Cows Say Moo) -- Kids' Book Review
'These creatures are cute, friendly and non-threatening to children and divide neatly into two groups ... I would recommend this ... (and the series) to adults looking for a gentle, low-key story for the pre-schooler in their life.' (on The Balloon) -- Queensland Reviewers Collective
'The absurdity and unlikely behaviour of the animals strengthens the storyline. There is a lovely economy of words which tell the story with skill.' (on The Tree) -- GLAM Adelaide
