Join truck-crazy Matthew for his three nighttime fantasy adventures! These favorites are brought together in one extra-large special edition: Matthew and the Midnight Tow Truck; Matthew and the Midnight Turkey; and Matthew and the Midnight Money Van.
These whimsical and droll stories appeal to kids' humour and love of the unexpected. The full color cartoon style illustrations perfectly match the playful spirit of the wacky stories. The pages are a larger size than the original and have nice touches in the page design like the tow truck or turkey or money bucket decorative elements by the page numbers. This volume is an excellent value for libraries wishing to refurbish their "Matthew" collections, and it will introduce a new generation of kids to these enjoyable stories. Highly Recommended.--Lorraine Douglas"Canadian Materials" (10/01/2000)
