Horn Book Review
In Extra-Busy Day, Dumpy the dump truck helps finish a farmer's chores. In Valentine, Dumpy delivers Valentines when a postal truck breaks down. The plots are confusing, and the amateurish art will not help young readers understand what is going on. These easy-reader Dumpy stories are no more successful than the picture books.
