About this title

From Booklist:

PreS-K. In this most recent title in the Dumpy the Dump Truck series, Dumpy helps the village of Apple Harbor after the lighthouse is struck by lightning and loses power. On the way to the lighthouse, Dumpy helps some of his friends--Stinky the Garbage Truck, Tommy the Tow Truck, and Big Red the Fire Engine--who have been slowed down by the storm. Together with Polly the Police Car, they guide a fishing boat named Saucy Sue to shore, and they keep the lighthouse vigil for other marine craft that might need help. Cooperation, assisting those in need, remaining calm in an urgent situation, friendship: these are all qualities that Dumpy models well for today's young children. Watercolor and colored-pencil drawings show the drama of the storm and the warmth of a small, idyllic community whose members treat each other like family. Kathy Broderick
