Axel the Truck: Field Trip

Learn to read with Axel the Truck!

Axel is a little truck with big, big wheels who loves exploring and adventure. The little red truck likes to go fast, zooming down a dirt road toward the farm while dust swirls under his tires.

He races off the road and rolls across the fields, where weeds catch in his bumper! When the cows run after him, Axel speeds along and spots the farm pond just a moment too late.

In this My First I Can Read! book, Axel finds himself stuck in the mud and learns that sometimes you have to get really messy to have a whole lot of fun! Stuck in the pond, he revs his engine and rocks his big tires back and forth through all the thick mud and muck!

Simple, declarative sentences and basic phonics make Axel perfect for emerging readers who love trucks and other vehicles that go.
