Elbow Grease may not be the biggest, smartest, or toughest truck at the demolition derby but he definitely has the most determination.  His brothers each have their own special talent and sometimes make fun of Elbow Grease for being different, but when Elbow Grease take off to join the  Grand Prix he teaches them that it can be fun to try new things even if you’re not the best at it. Truck lovers will enjoy this book with bright full-page illustrations and speech bubbles that allow each of the trucks to add their voice to the story. Over all a cute story of friendship and perseverance great for the 3 and up crowd.
