About the Author
Jon Scieszka is the author of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!, the Time Warp Trio series, The Stinky Cheese Man, and a truckload of other books that inspire kids to want to read. His work as an elementary school teacher and as founder of a literacy initiative for boys (www.guysread.com) drove him to create Trucktown, a crazy, fun action series for the youngest readers.
These three award-winning, bestselling artists -- and part-time grease monkeys -- worked overtime to help Jon Scieszka create Trucktown. They drew, they painted, and they combined their distinct visual styles (and even wore matching coveralls) to bring the Trucktown world to life.
