Just when you thought it was safe to venture back into the blogosphere . . .
duhn duhn duhn . . .!
. . .I’ve got another blog tour starting!
I know! The first one isn’t even finished!
I’m sorry!
They’re right on top of each other and overlapping and I know it’s a lot to keep up with!
*hides under the kitchen table*
(Believe me I know! My house hasn’t seen a vacuum in two weeks and my refrigerator is empty except for a wrinkled lemon no one’s been desperate enough to tangle with!)
But the trucks and I would be ever so grateful if you’d journey along the road with us a little ways. They’re VERY cute! And I don’t want them to feel less loved then LION and ELEPHANT! That would be sad 😦
So let’s break out their shiny new blog tour banner, shall we?
Have you ever seen such friendly little trucks?
Er… I mean BIG trucks! MIGHTY trucks! They’re strong! They’re tough! They’re heavy duty! (And they have really nice teeth, don’t they? 🙂 )
Julie is really kicking off the tour over at Little Red Story Shed today. She has a review of the book and a delightful activity she did with her preschoolers. I hope you’ll hop on over and visit her!
We’ve got a great line-up of fun-filled posts – interviews with me and Erica Sirotich (the talented illustrator), activity and coloring page reveals, book reviews and giveaways, games, recipes, crafts, and a book trailer reveal (a little farther into the tour because I haven’t made it yet! 🙂 ) as well as a couple of special prizes!
As with the WHEN YOUR… blog tour, I’m really hoping that the lovely people who are being kind enough to host, especially on this second, overlapping tour where readers will undoubtedly be feeling a little burned out on Susanna Hill blog tours!, will get some visitors for all their kindness and hard work. (Please also bear in mind that with the exception of a couple days in August – I think August 3, 10, and 15 – you’ll get a nice break from me until the around the second week of September… so there’s hope if you can just soldier through the next couple weeks 🙂 )
To make it even more fun, I will once again offer a Special Prize to be raffled off among people who visit and comment on every stop on the tour!
I’d also love the trucks to get their little moment in the social media limelight, so every time you share on Face Book, Twitter, or Instagram using the hashtag #trucksontour you will get an entry in a raffle to be conducted at the close of the tour in which 3 $25 gift certificates to Merritt Bookstore and Toystore will be up for grabs! We can support a wonderful independent bookstore, and you can get your choice of any book on your wishlist and a great selection of high quality toys! (And if a book on your wish list should happen to be one of mine, I can sign it for you 🙂 )
Here’s the schedule so you can plan your summer so as not to miss anything important 🙂
(With a million, billion, trillion thanks to Katie Hill for fixing all the formatting issues after I totally screwed it up even though she was tired and sunburned from a long day at work! Love you, sweetie ❤ )
So HERRRHERRRHERRR!
RUMBLEGRUMBLETHRUM!
VRRROOOOM!
VRRROOOOOOOM!
Off we go with TRUCKS ON TOUR!
Don’t forget to share today’s post and Julie’s or any other relevant delightful items – photos, books in the wild sightings, truck-related crafts, activities, games or recipes – with the hashtag #trucksontour! (Credit for that clever hashtag to Julie Abery! Thank you again, Julie!)
Tune in tomorrow for an interview with yours truly at Writer’s Rumpus for the WHEN YOUR BOOKS TOUR, and a book review and craft activity at Lynn’s blog, Polilla Writes, for the TRUCK TOUR.
(Yeah… you can see how this is gonna go… give me about 12 seconds and I’ll be hopelessly confused between the two tours! I’m hoping you guys will be able to keep it all straight! 🙂 )
Have a marvelous Monday, everyone!!! 🙂
Susanna Leonard Hill 
Double (triple) congratulations on all your book birthdays, blog tours, and big, bold successes! You’re poppin’. Enjoy it! We will too!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Thank you, Genevieve and Cupcake! I can always count on you! 🙂 Best thing is? You can do this tour in your pajamas 🙂
You are amazing, Susanna!! Congratulations! Critter Basket and company are going to be thrilled for another new book! Keep ’em comin’! 🙂
Ooh! I LOVELOVELOVE that photo of the Critter Basket! I’m glad they’ll be thrilled! I’m honored to have my books get a place in their little Critter hearts! 🙂 Thanks, Rene!
The more the merrier! Hooray for books, books, books Susanna!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Cathy 🙂 ❤
This is such an amazing book. Thank you for letting me join the blog tour. This has been a lot of fun reading all the great interviews with you and watching all the amazing cookies and crafts others created. Now onto the trucks. Can’t wait to see what happens with this tour. 🙂
Me either 🙂 Let’s hope it doesn’t escape from my control entirely! 🙂 Thanks so much for being a part of it, Maria!
Looking forward to Trucks on Tour! Can’t wait to read the new book!!
Thanks, Teri! I imagine you’ll be among the first, since we’re going to Merritt tomorrow and I happen to know that somehow they already have 3 copies – which is more than I have! 🙂
No need to apologize for overlapping tours! Congratulations! Wow, your books sound fun, especially this one with all its onomatopoeia. I checked out Can’t Sleep without Sheep today from our library and can’t wait to read it later. Will post a review!
Danielle, I love that book! Can’t Sleep Without Sheep is the book that got me hooked on Susanna’s work.
So nice of you to say, Lynn! 🙂
That’s so sweet of you, Danielle – both to not mind the overlapping tours and to check out CAN’T SLEEP! I hope you like it 🙂 At the very least, I think you’ll love the art. Mike is amazing!
Congratulations on all of the releases!
Thank you so much, Patricia!
Have two great grandsons that would love this book. Love the illustrations!
I’m so glad you think your great grandsons would like the book, Pat! And I love the illustrations too – so cute and colorful and friendly! 🙂
Another huge congratulations!! What an exciting month.
Thanks so much, David! It really is SO exciting! 🙂
Big congratulations, Susanna! Wishing you truckloads of fun with both! 😀
Thank you, Richa!!! 🙂
Congratulations! What an exciting time for you, Susanna!
You must be having the most exciting / most exhausting July ever!!! You may need to plan a vacation or some other major project in October so you can calmly unwind from giving birth to all these book babies:)
