Customer Reviews

Smashing Hit!

Before even having kids of my own, I'd been a collector of Jon Scieszka's books for years. I am so happy that he has come out with this new Trucktown series! I have a 2 year old son who just LOVES this book-we read it almost every night! He loves the storyline, the illustrations, and most of all Jack Truck and Dump Truck Dan! The characters are so creative and wonderfully personified. We can't wait for the rest of the Trucktown series books to come out. This book is a huge hit in our house, and we all highly recommend it!

Another great book for your (little) truck enthusiast

Just bought this book yeasterday for my 5 yr old and he's already in love with it. The animated cars and trucks look a lot like the Chevron Cars from the commercials so if you're little guy is big on those toys, this book will make a real nice companion and it's great to see there are more titiles to follow!! Great way to encourage reading and playtime together. I'm thinking about getting another one to give as a gift! It's really a cute book!

Wonderful!

We bought this for our 5 year old son yesterday. He has asked us to read it to him over and over again. The illustrations are incredible, and the story is captivating. We can't wait to read more about Trucktown.

For Boys who love trucks

I got this for my 2 year old nephew. He just loves it. Great illustrations and cute story. I would recommend it to anyone who has a little man who loves their trucks!
