Young truck enthusiasts will love watching the garage workers operate their terrific trucks and keep the roads in top shape through every season!The Village Garage is a 2011 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book for boys
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It takes some dedicated workers to maintain a village.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's always busy for George, Mike, and the rest of the crew at The Village Garage! Each season brings on different tasks around the town, from filling potholes in the hot summer months to readying the snow shovels and salt in preperation for hte first big snow storm of the year. G. Brian Karas makes excellant use of descriptive words to talk about each task ("Chink chink chink, the chains rattle, kkkkkkkkkkkkkkrrrrrrrrr, plows scrape") and uses fun, cartoon-like characters throughout the book. The book would certainly be of great appeal to young boys with an interest in anything mechanical.
