Beskrivelse
Kurt er glad i å kjøre truck, og noen ganger er han grei og andre ganger er han ugrei. Mer er det egentlig ikke å si om den saken.
Denne boken inneholder de fire første historiene som er skrevet om Kurt og den på en måte ganske vanlige, men på en annen måte ganske uvanlige familien hans.
