Sunny the Sideloader is a fun, eco-friendly spin on the truck book. Readers will follow Sunny on his very first day at his very first job. He joins a group of colorful, hard-working waste management trucks called the Clean Machines. Sunny is supposed to follow a pink truck named Electra so she can show him what to do. But Sunny is too excited, and he forgets. He zooms all over town, scooping up bins and plopping them down, unknowingly spilling trash behind him. Meanwhile, the other trucks look everywhere for Sunny. When Electra finally spots him, she exclaims “Wowie Kazowie! Look at this mess!” Sunny is worried that Electra and the other trucks won’t like him, but they are quick to forgive him and help him clean up. Back at the station, Sunny and his new friends watch the sun set before their manager sings them to sleep. “Clean Machines, you’ve done your best/ Close your eyes, it’s time to rest.” Children will enjoy learning the trucks’ names, colors, and jobs—and in the process, they will learn about waste disposal. They will pour over the unique photographic illustrations and discover fascinating details. The perfect book for truck lovers and young environmentalists.
