Trucks Go Pop! (Pop Up Books) 1 review
Bob Staake
L,B Kids, 2008
"Perfect Gift For Little Boys!"
There are few words in this book. There are simple words, such as "dirty truck and slow truck". That is part of the charm of this book.
The first page has a "big truck" and "little truck". The big truck pops up on an overpass. On the second page, there is a bulldozer and a clown being fired ...

Samantha Berger
Cartwheel Books, 2001
Milo is trying to sleep, but there is too much noise! Honks, toots, beeps, and choo-choos surround his tiny home in the city. Easy rhyming text and beautiful sculpted clay illustrations will delight beginning readers.

Five Trucks3 reviews
DK Publishing
DK CHILDREN, 1999
Perfect for the young truck-enthusiast
+ Inspiring Book
+ a gentle and rewarding book
I shared this book with a young friend, to watch his reaction as the story unfolds. It's supurb! The opening spread of a man and a boy hauling a heavy suitcase provided the first clue to what the "five drivers for five trucks" did every day. The drivers' teamwork, their varied genders and ...

Pete's Party (Ready-to-Read. Level 1) 1 review
Jon Scieszka
Aladdin, 2008
Great characters, mediocre plot
My son loves this book and (at three) can already read it. He knows the characters from the other Trucktown series books. The plot is paper thin, but of course he doesn't notice.

Hush Little Digger3 reviews
Ellen Olson-Brown
Tricycle Press, 2006
A fresh take on an old rhyme
+ Fabulous book for your little guy!
+ Too cute
This remake of "Hush Little Baby" is creative and the rhymes are surprising, never forced. My niece and several other kids I love ADORE this book and ask for it over and over. It nicely melds two major interests of young kids--rhythmic, repetitive text and big equipment! One of my recent favorites ...

Truck Stuck1 review
Sallie Wolf
Charlesbridge Publishing, 2008
My three-year is obsessed with this book
We received this book for my son's third birthday. The vivid and detailed pictures and fun language makes him laugh every time. Six months later he is still asking for me to read it to him many times a week. A truck gets stuck, lemonade is served, the media is called in to cover the chaos, ...

Denise Dowling Mortensen
Clarion Books, 2007
My 2 year old knows all the words..
Both my kids (girl 3, boy 2) love this book and the companion "Good Night Engines". And what's more important - I even like it. Sweet books with fun words to read and imaginative illustrations. Not too short, not too long.

+ The biggest cookie in the world
As a kindergarten teacher, I often find it difficult to find books that are appealing to children aged 4-6 that they can read just as they are learning to sound out words- this book is perfect! Kids enjoy the humorous illustrations and are able to read the text on their own, a great ...

Perfect for the young child and special needs preschoolers
+ my 17 month old boy loves it!
+ Great for little boys
Need to send your 2- or 3-year old to school on a big yellow bus? Get this book. It is not for the pre-kindergardeners (though it appears on lots of pre-K summer reading lists), but its simplicity and basic language concepts ("cross the town", stop/go, arriving and departing, etc) are perfect for ...
