Description
A joyful celebration of trucks and teamwork
It’s time for the hardworking trucks at the construction site to get cleaned up! But when the narrator tries to round up the muddy machines, they dig in their wheels and refuse to be led away. They don’t want to waste time being soaked and lathered, scrubbed high and low—they want to flatten soil, haul dirt, carry bricks, and lift beams. They want to WORK!
When the trucks discover that washing away the grime means they get to keep loading and lifting, they snap into action. It turns out that getting clean actually is work! Together, the trucks sponge and scrub until they sparkle. As they revel in their newfound gleam, the narrator reveals they’re cleaning up for an extra special purpose—a truck parade! The shiny machines roll down the street to the cheers of a diverse group of truck fans.
With charming, expressive illustrations and playful rhyming text, this book brings the construction site to life in an energetic tale that will have readers shouting, “Hooray for trucks!”

Formally trained in art history and cultural anthropology, she worked for several years as a university librarian until her passion for illustration called her out of that career and into the pursuit of a lifelong dream. Since then, Suharu has created illustrations for magazines, public art projects and children's books, including Why Humans Work: How Jobs Shape Our Lives and Our World in the Orca Think line. She also teaches illustration at OCAD University in Toronto.
Editorial Reviews
"Hooray for Trucks! will welcomed by fans of construction vehicles and construction sites, but the displays of the pleasure of bath time and being slathered with soap and bubbles will make this bedtime required reading."
Canadian Review of Materials
"Sure to please young truck lovers—and just the thing to get them eager for their own baths."
