Book Summary

This is a wordless picture book that follows a large red semi-truck on a long journey. The truck leaves its garage, picks up a load of furniture, drives on highways and through towns, encounters traffic and a train crossing, drives through the night and rain, delivers its load to a house, and finally returns to its garage.
