Best children's book ever
581899
I don't know why this book has flown under the radar.  It is masterful at showing relationships that can be very abstract to little ones---in and out, up and down, over and under.  The car goes on green and stops on red.  Dogs play and dogs work.  My son loved this book when he was a toddler and so did I.  I try to buy a copy for every pregnant woman I know!

My children love this book! I've read this book to all my children.  This book is the one they always ask me to read to them.

Best childhood book ever - adults should re-read every year as well. I give to all little kids and for baby shower library gifts.

Of the hundreds of children's books we've read, this is an absolute favorite. My older child (10) still reads it regularly. Even as pre-readers, the beautiful, imaginative, and artistic illustrations never failed to captivate. I would give more stars if I could.

Holy Cow!  I can't believe there aren't a million reviews of this book already ... and all of them saying it's the best picture book EVER!  Maybe it's just me, but this is probably my all-time favorite.  My boys (ages 5 and 8) have been reading this a couple times a week for a few years now and it never gets old.  I love it, they enjoy it ... the artwork is really clever and has a unique style and the story rhymes wonderfully from start to finish.  I can repeat the whole book by heart at this point ... it's fantastic.  I can't possibly see how anyone would not adore this book.

Me and my kids loved it. This is the best of Pat Hatt's books. My kids' favorite children book author. This book has it all - catchy rhymes, vibrant colors, wonderful art, favorites characters, excellent moral - who doesnt love dragons? Who doesnt love a original story? a creative, and an imaginative one which helps kids read and learn.
The entire book is full of fun. The rhymes and words are easy and interesting and catchy, my four year olds - read the book themselves. And they asked me to read it repeatedly.
Patt's books are awesome, he understands every kids' need and gives them what they want and understands every parents' necessity and gives their kids what they need.
I would love to see these books on department store's shelves.
Everytime I see my kids rejoice over any new book from Pat I feel confident and proud that I made a wise choice.
This book has it all, and every parent should buy this book for their kids, I am happy that I did - yep, christmas came early in our house and my kids have already got their favorite present, I doubt if Santa could top it off.  Santa, game on. :)

I've been reading this book to children since my little sister came along in 1971 and it is always a favorite...for both the child and the reader.  With so many different stories and pictures, there's something for every one in every mood.  If you feel like reading, there are stories to read.  If you feel like looking for items to name in pictures, there are little pictures and large pictures to name.  If you feel like making up your own stories to go with pictures, that's in there too.  This is a book no child should grow up without.

My son is 14 months old and this is his favorite book.  It's actually the only book he will sit through.  After I finish reading it he reaches for it so that I can read it to him again.  I purchased about 20 copies as party favors for my son's first birthday party.  Since giving them out, several of the moms have told me that the book is now their child's favorite book as well.  It's a super cute story and the illustrations are fantastic.  Such creativity.  I highly recommend it.

This is a book that children will read over and over again, and then retain as they grow. Many kids' books now seem to have either beautiful illustrations and poor writing/pointless stories, or good stories with unappealing art. This book has stunning illustrations that draw the eye, and a wonderfully written, wonderful story that draw the mind and heart. This book should be in every school and every library. I highly recommend this book!

This has to be one of the most wonderful children's book ever written!  I give this to all new parents, and to all the little tots I can.  Great story, everlasting and timeless.

Little Blue Truck is one of the best children's stories I have ever read.  My toddler loves this book (this is our 2nd copy) and it never gets old.  We read it every night.  It is also a great book for an emerging reader.  I have a 6-year old that likes to use this book to practice reading.  I would recommend the Little Blue Truck book for babies, toddlers or older kids.  There are several others in the "series" which we have also enjoyed.

Had this a a child in the 70s - one of my all time favorites.  Was thrilled when it came back in print several years ago.  One of the best children's books ever.  Art and writing are fabulous.

My favorite children's book! This book has lovely pictures and poems that correspond to children's songs such as Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, substituting the traditional words with words meant to encourage the baby animals- bunnies, ducks, bears, etc. So you can sing the tune to the new words. I give this book to every new baby in our family and friends.

This is the best children's book I have ever read. I love to buy it for new parents to one day share with their little ones. It communicates the love that God has for us in a way that kids can relate to.  I have a hard time getting through it and not getting choked up.  My 5-year old actually finds this funny.  She knows the page (toward the end) that makes me cry and she watches my face for it, and when the tears start, she laughs and says "MOM!  Why does this make you cry???"  It's a good opportunity for me to explain to her how amazing God's love for us is.

It has interesting, beautiful illustrations, and it can be read in one sitting with your average 4-7 year old.

This is a great children's book. The story and art are both awesome. It's fun to read and has a great message- be proud of who you are. We started reading this book to my son when he was 4 and as he approaches 7, it's still enjoyed regularly. And now we will introduce it to our youngest. The music it comes with is in rotation in our car along with all of his other albums which I also highly recommend.

One of the best children's books I have ever read.  Excellent moral of the story - we all fit in somewhere.  My son (who is 2.5) absolutely loves this book.  Highly recommend.

There are so many children's books out there, it is difficult to know which one to get.  This is a definite must buy for all parents.  The images are spectacular and the rhymes are fun and easy to read.  My son doesn't understand the book yet, but I know when he's older, he'll be asking me to read this one to him every night before bedtime... and it will be the one book that I won't groan about reading to him.  Buy it -- you'll love it!
