Jennifer Somervell The New Old Truck

Cove is proud to present these beautiful picture books by New Zealand author, Jennifer Somervell.

Children will adore this colourful, award-winning picture book, which captures the essence of life on a Kiwi family farm in the 1970s.

Old Truck graunches gears, backfires, won't start and often has to be towed.

Retired and rejected, shut up in a shed, he feels old and useless.

But to the children on the farm he's a much-loved family member.

Is this the end for their beloved Old Truck? Keep reading to find out!
