Customer Reviews

Educational and entertaining

My son loves everything to do with planes,trains, and automobiles. I purchased this book while shopping and it was something my son picked up and I could not get him to put down. It is, however, one of the best truck books we own. Each page shows a large picture of a construction vehicle with an acurate description of what each vehicle does and which parts do what. There are also picture insets of certain important parts and each vehicle at work. My son usually has to take this book to bed and it keeps him entertained until I can get to him in the morning. If your son or daughter love trucks this is a definate "MUST HAVE"!

Great pictures and sturdy book!

My son absolutely loves this book. He received it for his two year old birthday and we read it every night. He carries it around with him. The pages are like cardboard and for a rough little boy, the book has held up. The pictures show real-life miniture trucks and construction equipment. Even though he does not understand all the words in the book, he loves listening to it and turning the pages to see what's next.

For kids who can't get enough of construction trucks

My son received this as a Christmas gift when he was little over a year old. It has been one of the few books that he wants read to him time and time again. The pictures are realistic enough for a toddler to identify them and the wording brief enough to hold a toddler's attention span. The only drawback is the book is not a board book so some care must be given to survive ownership by a toddler.

Excellent

My two and a half year old son loves this book. It is what kept him on the potty long enough to get him potty trained. We have almost worn the book out.

A construction vehicle enthusiast's dream

My 3 year old loves this book. It's full of dump trucks, excavators, loaders, etc. Not only does it show all of the parts of each vehicle, but the top of the book also shows step-by-step how it moves & works. The illustrations are very detailed, yet simple enough for a toddler or pre-schooler.
