Last week, I wrote here at Kirkus about Brian Pinkney’s Puppy Truck (Atheneum, June 2019); Carter Higgins’s Bikes for Sale (Chronicle, April 2019), illustrated by Zachariah OHora; Mark Lee’s What Kind of Car Does a T. Rex Drive? (Putnam, May 2019), illustrated by Brian Biggs; and George Ella Lyon’s and Benn Lyon’s Trains Run! (Richard Jackson Books/Atheneum, June 2019), illustrated by Mick Wiggins.

I’m following up today with some art from each book.

Enjoy!

‘I’m busy selling a car to a …’ ‘A Triceratops,’ Ava said. ‘Great horns,’ Otto told the dinosaur. ‘I bet you win a lot of arguments.’ ‘I’m a gentle giant,’ the Triceratops said.
‘Do you have a vehicle that might suit me?'”
