Engaging colorful "truck" book

My granddaughter asked for a "truck" book and she loved it when she saw it. I could
tell it's a hit, great colors and just enough words, not too little not too much, would
buy again

My 6 yr old loves this book. There is only one picture per page so the back sides are blank and he loves drawing his own trucks on there.  There is a good variety of monster trucks and other vehicles with monster tires on them.

My 3.5 year old nephew loves trains (especially Thomas) AND dinosaurs- who would guess that there would be a book about both? While I bought the book primarily based on novelty of the delightfully fun title and cover, in this case you CAN judge a book by the cover, and it didn't disappoint!

The story is fun, engaging, and even includes a lesson (things aren't always as scary as they seem) as well as a plot twist. The story lends itself to a lot of interaction/discussion with the child while reading and afterwards. It is beautifully illustrated with vibrant colors. The story is simple and short enough to hold the attention of older toddlers-preschoolers but I think even younger elementary age children would enjoy it.

The book itself is of standard Little Golden Books quality and durability. It will hold up to a lot of handling and being hauled in backpacks and purses. Which is good, because this book has become a favorite!

Great book for a 3-4 year old boy who loves to learn about big trucks!

This book is so much fun...the pictures are excellent, as DK Publishing has a reputation for. The kids love to "drive" the tractor and "use" the instrument panel as we read. I'm from the Washington/Idaho Palouse area, so there's decent dose of nostalgia for the pictures of farming as well.

This is one of four Little Blue Truck books we have at home, and the story isn't as well written as Little Blue Truck, or Little Blue Truck Leads the Way, but the book proved a useful instructional tool when my son was learning to count. There are trees to count on most pages, but also birds, pigs, goats, etc. He was learning to count in June and July, so the content of the book wasn't seasonally appropriate, but he's enjoyed the book anyway. The friendship between Little Blue and the Big Green Toad in this book and the Little Blue Truck's Halloween is a nice touch.

We've had this book for months, and he still loves the lights on the Christmas tree on the last page.

This is the second "Little Blue Truck" book by the same two author and illustrator.  My 18 month old grandson absolutely loves the first "The Little Blue Truck" though he seems to like the pushy dump truck best of all.  This is another good book in the series.  It is a little over long for him to sit through - he usually gives up at about the time the mayor starts his speech.  Can't say I blame him - politicians can put me to sleep, too.  I think when he is a bit older he will want to hear the whole story but in the meantime, when he arrives at my house in the morning, these are the two books he grabs first to have me read to him. The story is very cute (and Little Blue saves the day "Beep, beep, beep") and the illustrations are so much fun - especially the mean looking eyes on all of the other vehicles.  I never realized how much expression could be given to the front grill of a vehicle.

Reading time is so special - he isn't a cuddly child - more of a rambunctious one but he does like to sit on my lap on the rocking chair and have me read him stories pretty much all day long.  Unless it is diaper change or nap time, I always make sure to read to him when he wants it.  Reading to and then later having your child read to you or to themselves is a fantastic gift.

I love this book for young children and look forward to seeing another book (hopefully) in the near future.

This colorful board book is easy to read and a fun way for your toddler to learn about the different construction vehicles and what they do. "With the Mixer we can Mix Mix Mix," is an example of the wording. The repetitive phrases are memorable, and kids love to say the words with you. At the end of the story, all of your hard work paid off, and you built an adventure playground!

Almost exactly what I wanted.  My toddler loves trucks, and this book has a bit of a story to it, with big construction vehicles and trucks to color.  That part was a win.

But every single human in the book is male, and most have Caucasian features.  Next time I'll scout out a coloring book that does more to display the diversity of actual truck operators.

My 2 year old is obsessed with trucks and this book has great illustrations and he is learning all of the names of the trucks.  He loves to show everyone his new book.  Its a big book and easy for anyone to read and enjoy.

Hi, I've read this book to the littler folks and to myself. It is a great book both to read and look at, with some easy and some challenging pages. The up-beat and fun drawings have surprising detail and vibrant color. I  also love to laid-back farm theme. I recommend this book to anyone with  curious kids.

Really good illustrations of a variety of trucks and machines that operate in a city - absolutely fascinating for a child of the right age. I liked that there was a description, followed by a question, which was answered by a fold-out page. In addition, the pages fold out in an appropriate direction for the action of the machine or truck.

Great book for kids who love construction trucks. The illustrations and story are great. I enjoy reading this to my child. A new bedtime favorite. Very cute book. Would make a great gift.

Trucks come in all shapes and sizes. Readers learn about different types of trucks  what they carry, what sounds they make, what colors they can be  as a family of three gets ready to move into a new house.

A Truck Goes Rattley-Bumpas gouache artwork and brief, rhyming text will appeal to young readers and would work well for storytime. Truck and car books are always popular, and there are many storytime songs, fingerplays and crafts that can work with this book. The author, Jonathan London, is also the author of the popular Froggy book series.

This is a good book for kids who love trucks.  It is suggested for ages 3 to 8, but I think it might be better if it was suggested for 5 and up.  I bought this for my 3 year old grandson, but decided not to use it as a gift because I think the pictures are too detailed for a 3 year old to color.  I will use it as a gift in the next year or so.

Another entertaining and education book from Flitzy Books! Ginger sees the fall leaves as "autumn snow." Here, readers will learn a little about different trees and the leaves they drop. The activities are common to children in fall time, but with the expressive and colorful illustrations, this book makes them special. The rhythm and rhymes are fitting too, with short lines and variety.

Creativity abounds. "What else can we do with a wheelbarrow and rake?" Why, an "Autumn St. Nick!" "Snow angels" made out of crumpled leaves -- now there's a trick. Besides the colorful, action-filled story, there are also intriguing activities. The author-designer uses both drawings and photos for her illustrations. Your kids get the fun of finding which is which. That will develop word and discrimination skills.
