Customer Reviews

Charming! I can't believe it's out of print.

I agree with L. Look -- somebody reprint this thing now! This was a favorite book for each of my sons, and now my 4-year-old nephew requests frequent rereadings. The bright colors and simple, rhythmic prose -- not to mention the variety of vehicles -- make this a fun and delightful read, particularly for kids who love things on wheels.

Wonderful book

My son loves this book, all the different kinds of cars and trucks are fun to look at, and the rythm of the story is great for reading aloud. I hope the paperback edition maintains the foldout "centerfold" of the original.

Reprint this FAST!

This can't be out of stock! As a children's librarian, I found this to be a wonderful book. Lots of repetition and vehicles, with big clear pictures. What more could you want? Even parents get into the spirit of the book, yelling 'Stop,' and 'Help' in the appropriate places. Hope that this is not a prelude to out-of-print

Great!!

I work as a Toddler teacher in a daycare with children whose age range from 14mos to 2yrs and this is thier favorite book. I was so glad to see that it was here because I have looked everywhere for since our copy was recently ripped by one of the childern. I can not tell you just how much the children love this book. If I could give more stars I would.

Fufilled my sons' need to see lots of vehicles in one book

My twin 21 month old sons are fixated on transportation vehicles, but especially buses. This book was renewed from the library as many times as was allowed and they still wanted to hear it every day, 10 times a day! They loved to have a story about a bus that was different from the ever popular "Wheels on the Bus". I enjoyed the text and the fact that it was easy to add my own special touches such as sound effects while reading it.
