Beep Beep, Little Red Truck

Read-aloud note

Read slowly, soften your voice near the end, and leave a small pause before the final goodnight line.

Story

Beep beep Open / close Beep beep! The little red truck woke up in the toy box. Today was a big day. First, the truck helped Teddy Bear move to the top shelf. "Thank you, Red Truck!" said Teddy. Next, the truck carried blocks across the playroom. One block, two blocks, three blocks tall! A tower! Then Dolly needed a ride to the kitchen table. "Hop in!" said the little red truck. Vroom vroom! By bedtime, the little red truck was very tired. He had helped everyone. The toy box felt warm and cozy. "You are the best truck ever," whispered the child, giving him a little pat. The little red truck beeped softly. Beep beep. Goodnight.
