#73 - The Little Black Truck by Libba Moore Grey


Summary
The Little Black Truck chronicles the seasonal activities of a '40s-style truck: rolling past the schoolhouse; carrying a load of ripe pumpkins; bringing a Christmas tree home to be decorated. After years of use, The Little Black Truck finally wears out and is towed away. As it deteriorates, birds use string from its seats to build nests and rabbits live under it. Many years later, a young man finds it and, thinking that it looks like his grandfather's pickup, rebuilds and refurbishes it.
