AXEL THE TRUCK: BEACH RACE

Axel is a little truck with big, big wheels who loves speed and adventure.

In Axel the Truck: Beach Race by J.D. Riley, first in a series, Axel’s going to find out if he’s fast enough to win an off-road race by the ocean against some bigger trucks. The monster trucks zoom down the sand, but Axel has a great—and very loud!—engine and the heart of a winner.

Bright illustrations by Brandon Dorman bring the fun-loving, confident Axel to life.

Axel the Truck: Beach Race is an I Can Read book designed to introduce children to the exciting world of reading. It is perfect for reading aloud to a child, which is the first step in creating a great reader.

J. D. Riley lives in Ohio and is the author of several books about Axel the truck. Brandon Dorman lives in Puyallup, Washington, and is the creator of Pirates of the Sea! and Santa's Stowaway, and the illustrator of Jack Prelutsky's Be Glad Your Nose Is on Your Face, as well as Halloween Night, by Marjorie Dennis Murray.
