""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 humour 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 flavour 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.
