4 ⭐This book is fantastic. It sounds like John Cena if I‘m beginning to end. It‘s a story about always trying your hardest and that it‘s OK to be different. I love that one of the monster trucks is electric, which is what makes them different from the others but yeah, there‘s still this message of family. This book feels like the author and like someone who spends a lot of time with children.

This #PictureBook has a great message—never give up and anyone can succeed, no matter size or strength. Cena adds humor to the speech bubbles of the various trucks. I was actually surprised by how much I liked this one. #BBRC #LetterE

Librarybelle @BethM I didn‘t realize it was a series! 8mo
LibrarianRyan I liked these books. I could see John Cena reading them to kids. These are so much better then Dale Earnhart Jr.s books. 8mo

1. I have read books by celebrities so why not read what they recommend. Of course it depends on the celebrity. Here's something I love https://youtu.be/vfGhXTpcaRw
2. My students, their parents, my friends and family, goodreads, litsy - I follow authors on Instagram and Twitter. My Facebook feed is also full of bookish interests.
I have completely lost track of what day it is #teacherlife #summerbreak

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 👍📖📚 4y
ShelleyBooksie Loved the link. John Cena is great. 4y
mandarchy @ShelleyBooksie He's so great. I wish the Tonight Show did more What Ya Readin'? segments. I'm the odd duck that likes to see celebrities talk about what they are reading. There are so many people who don't read who might start with some inspiration. 4y

bthegood love your comment about losing track of what day it is - summer throws me for a loop - definitely a #teacherlife - 😂 (edited) 4y
KrisNelson I tend to shy away from celebrity children‘s books, but if the kids love them, I‘ll get them. 4y
KrisNelson I buy a lot of my books that Accelerated Reader, that puts its new tests out everyThursday. 4y
mandarchy @KrisNelson I guess I've could argue that Accelerated Reader is a celebrity... 4y

I was not expecting much out of wrestling powerhouse John Cena, but I have been greatly surprised by how much I like this book. And I can see why more are on the way. Elbo Grease is a truck with gumption. Yeah he plugs in, and yeah he is different, but never give up, and never quit.

John Cena wrote a picture book, so I put it on hold without knowing anything about it except that. Turns out it is a fun story about grit and gumption and demolition derbies, so my 6-year old was all about that. Fun, bright illustrations.

My son LOVED it!! About a "little" monster truck that proves he can do anything even though he's smaller.
A great message for kids to never give up, its funny, and the illustrations are vibrant and eye catching!
Reccomended read for youngsters!
