Customer Reviews

Another Great Dumpy Adventure!

Here is another Dumpy story with just the right amount of action, suspense, and the slightest hint of danger, as well as lots of vehicles, for little boys to enjoy. My 4 year old loves Dumpy books and this one is no exception! The illustrations are bright and the text is substantial--not dumbed-down for smallchildren. We look forward to more Dumpy books in the future!
