Customer Reviews

Favorite book for the whole family!

This book/CD is so much fun to read/sing!! Very catchy tune & repetitive so young kids can learn it quickly & sing along, too. As a bonus, our kids love dancing to the tune so they get in a little exercise :) Highly recommend it!!

A lot of fun, great art, and kids learn colors AND vehicles

This is one of our favorites at our house, and we seem to have just about every sing-a-long book out there! My 15 mo. old son thinks this book is the best....he loves the vehicles, and I like that it teaches colors, too. The art is kind of folky...very unique, colorful, and complex without being difficult to understand. Each page is a different vehicle, seen from the perspective of a yellow car traveling home from Grandpa's house ("The green digger scoops up the icky sticky sand, the icky sticky sand, the icky sticky sand. The green digger scoops up the icky sticky sand on the journey home from Grandpa's") At the end you can trace the whole journey and see all the vehicles and shops that you've passed. A charming book--simple and fun.
