Axel is a little red truck with big wheels and big dreams. In this easy-to-read story that is just right for beginning readers, Axel and his dog, Rex, go to the racetrack at the fairgrounds and race against trucks and cars that are bigger, better, and faster than he is. Does Axel win? You bet he does!

Loosely based on "The Night Before Christmas," this rhyming story tells of a group of animals, monsters, and witches who prepare such a frightening Halloween party that their expected trick-or-treaters all run away.
