Welcome a new friend to the farm with the #1 New York Times bestselling Little Blue Truck!

Beep! Beep! Have you heard the news? There is someone new on the farm!

All the animals are nervous and excited about meeting a new friend—what will he be like? Does he neigh like a horse or oink like a pig? Does he have fur or feathers? Does he swim? Does he fly? Making new friends can be scary at first, but being kind and helping others feel welcome is always the right move.

Luckily, Blue knows just the thing to help his friends, old and new, feel at home! Little Blue Truck's "Beep!" was loud and clear: We are very glad you're here!
