Verbal and visual repetition are used to excellent effect in this story of three different-colored trucks going up a hill one at a time. Rain suddenly comes down, causing Red Truck to become stuck in a giant mud puddle. The sun comes out as Green Truck and Blue Truck come to the rescue. Each illustration contains a partially hidden bunny to locate, adding a fun, visual game element to the story.
