Axel the Truck: Beach Race

Written by J.D. Riley and Illustrated by Brandon Dorman

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

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 a My First 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.
