Our fourteen month old grandson loves
books. We have a basket of books in our living room, and when he comes over, he
picks out his favorites for us to read to him. He will also carry a loved book
all over the house with him. His current book of choice is The Happy Man and His Dump Truck. This was first published in 1950,
and I read it as a child.
Our grandson also loves trucks becoming
extremely excited on days when garbage trucks or street sweepers are in the
neighborhood. So the content of this book appeals to him. It has a positive
message of a happy man who enjoys driving his dump truck and is friendly to a
group of animals. But horror of all horrors, this old book is not PC. It shows
the animals accepting a ride with a stranger. Then they sit in the truck bed.
And they don’t use seatbelts. But it does promote diversity since animals of
all types and shapes get to ride in the dump truck. That’s the trouble with
being a writer. I see too many different dimensions of a children’s book. Our
grandson just enjoys a good truck book.
