      Don't cry over spilled milk. Add crumbled cookies and freeze to make Cookie Crunch ice cream with your friends instead. Tow truck Joe and his pup, Patch, roam Drivedale honking "Hello!" and helping vehicles (all are anthropomorphic) in trouble. They charge batteries and replace flat tires until "SCREECH! BANG! CRUNCH! CRASH" An accident! It appears the milk truck was going too fast and hit a cart full of cookies. What a mess! Traffic is at a standstill, but Joe, Patch, and all the other trucks help out. The cement mixer is ready. The bulldozer cleans up the cookie crumbles, and the grocery truck supplies sugar and vanilla. Patch adds milk from the milk truck, and the mixer stirs everything up. An ice cream truck offers to freeze the mixture. Voila! Cookie Crunch ice cream! Slowly and carefully, all the vehicles follow Joe and Patch to the garage to end the busy day with scoops of their delicious ice cream creation. Related in an easy, conversational rhyme with clear and bright illustrations, this story is a good read-aloud, but it's an even better one-on-one read. Children and adults need to pore over the written puns in the illustrations. Signs such as "BIG WHEEL COOKIES--THEY TASTE WHEELY GREAT" and "KNEAD FOR SPEED BAKERY" are too good to miss. A delight for car and truck fans young and old. (Picture book. 4-8)
