This vehicular spin on pet adoption features an unlikely pet: a dump truck. Kids will not only laugh, but learn.
Just like a new pet, a new dump truck is a heap of responsibility, but its also loads of fun. Just remember: If you take care of it well, your dump truck will be your forever friend.
Includes tips on: selecting the perfect leash at the hardware store; whether to feed your truck diesel or regular; cleaning up your trucks messes at the dump; socializing with other trucks, and much more.
Peter Pearson and Mircea Catusanus follow-up to How to Eat an Airplane is clever fun for pet lovers and truck aficionadoswhether their pet (or truck) barks, meows, or honks.
