Monster Trucks

Anika Denise is a children's book author and poet. When not writing tales of vroom and doom, she can be found zipping around her hometown of Barrington, Rhode Island, in her Monster Minivan or reading not-so-scary stories with her husband and three kids. Nate Wragg is the illustrator of Too Many Cooks by Margaret McNamara, Goldi Rocks and the Three Bears by Corey Rosen Schwartz and Beth Coulton, and At the Old Haunted House by Helen Ketteman, among other titles. He's an art director, an illustrator, and now a monster truck expert. Nate lives in Southern California with his beautiful wife and their wonderful daughter.

"These monster trucks really are monsters, and their race is sure to get cheering children on the edges of their seats...monster-truck fans won't want to miss this Halloween showdown." -- Kirkus Reviews "Wragg creates some wicked vehicular hybrids...and eerie green skies and yellow moonlight set the stage for full-throttle Halloween fun." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In the energetic rhyming text...the action never stops. Vivid colors and textures give the cartoony acrylic and digital illustrations a bold and lively (despite the undead) look." -- The Horn Book "Bright, bold illustrations bring characters like Zombie Truck, Frankentruck, and Werewolf Truck to life...with lots of movement in the text and on the pages, this is a quick seasonal storytime selection that is sure to be popular around Halloween. Monstrous fun!" -- School Library Journal
