Goodreads Synopsis: 

"Talk about your meals on wheels!" A convoy of comic food trucks is heading your way, serving up a mouthful of good eats with a side of humor and verse. They've got everything from french fries to falafel. You can sample sushi. Build a burger. Eat an empanada! There's a food truck flavor to satisfy every appetite in this comically illustrated picture book with rhyming text. A fun and informative homage to tasty treats and transportation. Additional fun facts on food history and nutrition are also peppered throughout the book.

 Review: 
This was a really fun book. It is jam-packed with colorful images and interesting facts about various types of food that it talks about. The illustrations of the food trucks are playful and bright and the book will teach kids about all kinds of different foods using witty poems that go along with the images.


I found this book to be really fun and it did teach me a lot of random food facts that I would then yell across the room to my husband... so this book will be great for all ages and I think parents will enjoy it just as much as kids will.
