My 18 mo. old son received this book from his aunt in 1986. He just loved this book! It was his very favorite through his pre-school years. We read it so often, I began to sing the words to him. My son is now 21 and this chubby board book is still in great shape. This book is a keeper and hopefully will someday be passed down to his children. Highest recommendation!
A Nice Chubby Little Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I just wanted to write a few words about this nice little book. My girls loved it when they were little and learning to read, but I never realised how much till I saw them yesterday reading it to the little boy next door. Now they're teachers too. Books like this are wonderful for getting your kids up to reading speed early and that's important, so if you're a parent of a young one and you happen across this mini tome, I'd pick it up if I were you. Your child will love it.
Making reading Fun
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This was and still is my one-year old son's (now two) favorite book. And I have to admit, I most enjoy reading Chubby Engine to him. The illustrations are bright and fun. My son quickly learned to identify colors, animals and vechicals on the pages. The rhyming story is simple and song like, cumulating in the engine falling asleep after a busy day. A perfect metaphore for my son's day.
