Axel is a little truck with great big wheels. Axel loves to explore, have fun, go fast, and get dirty. The Axel books are ideal for children just learning to read, and feature fun art and an easy-to-read text that builds vocabulary, phonics skills, and the joy of reading. Field Trip is the third book about Axel, the little truck with great big wheels. What happens when he doesn't watch where he's going, and races into a pond? Cheer on Axel as he varooms and zooms his way out of the mud. Sometimes you have to get messy to have fun, and Axel is excellent at doing both!
