🎨 How to color it

Color the dump truck sunny yellow, the heaped round rocks warm tan and gray, the big tires charcoal black, and the little roadside tree spring green. Use chunky crayons or broad markers for the cab and dump bed, then press a little harder inside the tire treads so the zigzags stand out. For a playful twist, make every third pebble in the truck bed a surprise color like sky blue, cherry red, or grape purple.

At the hilltop road, Dax rolled slowly so his load went clackety-clack. He had just invented Pebble Guessing Parade: every bump made a sound, and he guessed what shape had hopped. “Round one!” he called, grinning through the dusty, grassy smell.

Clack, plink, clonk. Dax guessed pancake, pickle, and tiny potato. The stones jiggled in his bed, warm from the sun, while two puffy clouds seemed to puff along behind him.

Then a pebble near the top squeaked, “Wrong! I’m a sleepy moon!” The whole load began guessing Dax’s bumps back: tire wiggle, mirror jiggle, happy horn sneeze. Dax laughed so hard his headlights nearly blinked. Next time you spot his round cargo, can you guess which pebble is naming the road clackety-clack?
