Customer Reviews

Great book for a new preschooler

This is my son's favorite book. It has excitement and cool words and lots of different vehicles that get stuck in the icky muck. Then a neat twist of fate when the vehicles turn out to be toys and the preschool kids rescue them from the mud puddle. He never tires of listening to it. Highly recommended for a new preschooler, around 3 years old.

4 year old loves this book

my son wants to read this book over and over. Cute!

My 4 year old girls love this "boys" book

My 4 year old twin girls love this book. They both want to read it again and again. They know it by heart and they still want to read it.

An excellent book for a bedtime story

This is a simple, enjoyable story involving toy cars, a cute villain, mud pies, and preschool children as the heroes--ideal for reading to a preschooler!The writing is simple, lyrical, and easy to remember. After only a few reads, our two-year-old knew the story well enough to act it out with her toys. The plot teaches that things that might seem a little scary can be overcome, and that with teamwork, anything is possible.

My 2 year old's favorite book

My 28 month old son absolutely loves this book. After reading it a half a dozen times in one day, he'll ask to read it "one more time". And if you don't read it to him, he will turn page by page and tell the story aloud, well his version anyway, which is pretty close to the book itself. Although he knows the story, and the ending, he will sit still with anticipation until the very end of the book, which is a nearly impossible task for a 2 year old. He loves the repetition of his favorite vehicles in the book, and no matter how many times he hears it, he giggles with delight at the in depth description of the "sleepy, creepy, deeper-than-you'd-think mud puddle". This book is an absolute must for any little boy who likes trucks & cars & puddles, and what little boy doesn't?
