Customer Reviews

Great truck lover book

This book is great for any boy who loves trucks. The pictures are great for little ones to look at, and all the info will be great as he gets older.

Must have for little boys

I have a three year old boy. We have owned this book since he was 18 months when we found it in a consignment store. Every page is taped down the center to help it get through the excitement he feels when looking at the working trucks. It has a fantastic collection of working trucks, i.e. excavators, dump trucks, road equipment; as well as every other kind of vehicle. His friends are thrilled each time they look through it and I fear for the books pages and am beginning to think we may need a second copy. If you have a little one who likes trains, planes, boats, trucks or cars he will love this book.

A preschool classroom standout

In my preschool classroom of 4 year olds this book is the VERY favorite of all the boys. In fact, after about 6 months it is falling apart through considerable use and I need to order another. They huddle around it on the floor and pour over the pictures talking excitedly and naming all the cars, planes etc. A few children have shown it to their moms and asked to have one at home. You won't miss if you get this one!

A must for children who like wheels

This book was and continues to be a favorite of my two sons (ages 2 and 5). Each page includes several clear, colorful photographs of all types of vehicles on land, sea and air. Short descriptions of their use or how they move are included. Not recommended as a bedtime story though, since it can be quite stimulating.

Brief text, bright pictures of both comon & extreme machines

A nice book for younger children (maybee 2-5 years) with big bright pictures of common and "extreme" machines including boats, cars, construction, emergency, planes, trains and more.The text for each picture is concise and to the point - keeps things fast paced.
