Christiane Engel: Dump Truck Disco

Grab your dancing shoes & polish up those moves because ‘Dump Truck Disco’, part of Barefoot Books Singalongs series, hits bookshelves this month!

Dump Truck Daisy & her construction vehicle crew are on a secret nighttime mission – build a playground before sunrise. Christiane Engel‘s vibrant artwork & a catchy disco tune & animation make this a stellar choice for any child who is fascinated by construction vehicles.

Kirkus review: “Eye-popping acrylics mixed with watercolors and digital collage render each page a colorful cacophony that defies the dark of night. Expect construction-loving kids to be dancing to this funkytown night fever hustle.”
