Trick-or-treat with Tow Truck Joe

In this vehicle-centric lift-the-flap title from the team behind the picture book Tow Truck Joe, a friendly red tow truck dons a pirate costume and heads out to meets its friends on Halloween night. A tow truck's work is never done, though, and along the way, Joe stops to help various vehicles in distress (a monster truck, dressed as Frankenstein's monster, with a flat tire, for example). The rhyming text bounces along, and the cheery illustrations feature such endearing details as a yellow cab dressed as a bee; a compact car with cat ears and whiskers; and a van wrapped up, hood to trunk, like a mummy.
