This book follows the same story structure as Beep! Beep! Go to Sleep! The child protagonist is the adult, and his tantrum-throwing trucks are the kids. Get it? It's a metaphor.
Illustrator Guy Parker-Rees (Giraffes Can't Dance) is great for this. He is known for animals, but I love the way he gives them toddler-like exuberance. The three grumpy trucks are just toddlers, after all.
It was released in paperback version in November 2019 by Scholastic.
A Chinese version is coming soon...but you have to travel to mainland China.
Fun fact: it is the favorite book of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, per this July 2019 article in Parents magazine:
