"Clement makes a noteworthy picture book debut with this day-in-the-life story of a trucker, as told through the eyes and succinct words of his young son. ...Clement’s visual storytelling that sets this book apart, and gives many of the images all the power of a six-cylinder, 16.1-liter diesel engine. ... Unusual and often cinematic perspectives—a thigh-high view of Daddy gripping the gear shift, a bumper’s-eye view of a traffic jam—plunge readers into the action and give the compositions a red-blooded energy."

 "Striking graphics... The images and sans-serif typeface are reminiscent of Donald Crews in their boldness and simplicity, perspective and angle emphasizing the immensity of the truck and the heroism of its working-class driver. Indeed, in its strong, steady lines and depiction of a deeply pastoral Midwest, this offering could well be seen as the Great American Truck Book."

"[T]he minimal text expresses the warm, loving sentiment of a father and child playing at the end of the day... The text is printed in a large, clear font, with simple declarative sentences that will encourage youngsters to read for themselves."
