Customer Reviews

L Beard

Good book based off Hansel & Gretel. It keeps my son's attention since he likes trucks.

Great Fun to Read to the Grandkids

An excellent and fun book to read to the grandkids (ages 2 to 7). Should be great for kids who are readers, too.

My boys love it

My two boys (5 and 3) love this book and ask me to read it to them regularly. The 3-year-old chooses this book as one of his favorite things to take to bed with him.

Babysitter and teacher finds this a hit.

I purchased this book to share with my class after the success of The Three Little Rigs last year. While spending time babysitting this summer, I shared the book with a family of three (ages 4, 6, and 8). The book has been a hit. In two days, we have read the book MANY times. The 4 year old has carried it around with him constantly. This would be a great book for any boy, but the two sisters have liked it too.

A remarkable, innovative presentation.

David Gordon's HANSEL AND DIESEL offers a different kind of Grimm tale: here two machines set out to search for fuel in their junkyard - and face the Wicked Winch alone in the forest. How can two little lost trucks survive? A remarkable, innovative presentation.
