Praise for Monkey Truck:
"My three-year-old loves Michael Slack's new picture book Monkey Truck…The artwork is great, colorful and elaborated with lots of details that are fun to talk about during storytime. All told, it's a darned fun storytime treat." —Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.com

"The bright, blocky and, above all, goofy digitally painted illustrations will grab attention, and Monkey Truck's hooting mug (and tooting bottom) will keep the giggles flowing. Hope for more from this outrageous imagination." —Kirkus Reviews

"Slack's choppy, rhyming text is propelled by sound effects and exclamations that enhance the book's read-aloud appeal…A slight yet spirited romp." —Publishers Weekly

"Slack's digitally rendered artwork is abundant with enjoyable texture and detail, and the jungle citizens are remarkably expressive." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
