Read (for the first time ever) in [b:Story Land: 40 Of The Best Little Golden Books Ever Published|1786505|Story Land 40 Of The Best Little Golden Books Ever Published|Golden Press|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1188336040s/1786505.jpg|1785397]. I can empathize with other reviewers who say they appreciate the simply rhythm, and the idea of a party/ amusement park ride in the dump truck. It doesn't particularly float my boat, but hey, that's just me. (
