Joyride Thomas J Hayes

Joyride is the first in the Beantown Pals series of children/family picture books about the mythical, fairy tale world known as Beantown. In this episode, Bucky and Betty, the town's favorite teens take Chief Spark's fire truck, Laddie for a joyride. What ensues is a series of hysterical mishaps with Betty pushing every button including Bucky's to set of alarms, bells, blasters, and the ladder drawing attention from police chief, Officer Lima, who pursues them and issues a ticket to complete community service. Comedians Tammy Pooler and Tom Hayes created this tale during an improv comedy session and decided to put it into print and pictures for the entire family to enjoy.
