By Nancy Rumney

Book Overview

Discover a Heartwarming Tale of Friendship and Hard Work

Does your little one love big trucks and neighborhood heroes? Meet Gary the Garbage Truck, the dependable, green hero who keeps the town sparkling clean every single Tuesday. Gary might not be the shiniest truck on the road, but he has a heart of gold and a smile for every house he visits.

With a "loud bang" and a big problem to solve, the town realizes that sometimes, the best hero is the one who has been there all along.
