Great hipster baby book! Rhyming scheme and colorful pictures along with a trendy theme. I'm most impressed by the variety of trucks, and the nod to reality that the lines get really long :)

Cute and fun!

loved the illustrations and the story until the bridge was blocked by turtles? then all the food trucks and people took the ferry? where the hell is this city?

If there isn't a food truck that already exists named Pho Sho I will be very disappointed. :)

This book is one of my favorites for story times - it's really great because of the rhyme schemes and the little details that make talking through the book or clapping along with it a lot of fun. Beautiful work all around!

The niece read this on her own and she brought it too me and told me to read it. So I did. She thought it was a good story. She gave it 5 stars. So I read it to the nephew. He got bored and wanted a different book so we didn't finish it for him.

The art work is like a collage. The food was colorful and it made me hungry. The food truck phenom is sweeping the nation. It's all about the food. There is also a family who is excited to get ready and hit the park for the Food Truck yum.

A family attends a food truck festival together. I enjoyed the background on food trucks and all the people brought together to enjoy such diversity. But, I fail to see the point. Do people really go somewhere to spend the day watching the food trucks? I kept waiting for the real entertainment or festival or draw of the day to appear but it never did. I might use this one in story time (if I don't find something I like better) and discuss all the different food options with the kids. But, the book itself just seemed pointless to me. Hmm.

I love food trucks and went to a food truck festival recently. This book does a great job portraying the busyness and fun of the day.

Loved the rhythm and rhyme of this book, and the illustrations were pretty fun overall. My 3 year old really enjoys reading this together repeatedly.
