Customer Reviews

Amazing Machines - Amazing!

Great value for money and my boys just love these books, from the 2 to the 4 year old. They love the pictures and the rhyming nature of the stories. The truck they come in is pretty cute also. Nice too that they are educational, teaching about the different parts of machines. The whole family just LOVEs them.

great fun!

These little hardback books are mini versions of the originals, but they have exactly the same text and illustrations - and are way more toddler friendly! The stories are awesome - my 18 month old can't get enough. Theres lots of rhyming, and tons of 'factual information' rather than just a story - so i know hes going to love them for years to come. My 4 year old nephew is a great fan too - particularly of the very last page which is a summary of the key 'parts' of each machine!

Excellent value for 10 very fun little books!

My 2 1/2 year old son got these for Christmas. He loves them. We've read through them dozens of times (sometimes all ten at once!) The pictures are bright and colorful, and the rhyming text is fun to read. They provide some information and vocabulary for all sorts of vehicles and machines. Each book has a picture dictionary page at the back, which my son loves to study before we say "the end." He knows most of the picture dictionary words now and loves to tell me what they are and what they do. Great gift for boys, but I'm sure girls would like them as well.

Godsend for Car-Obsessed Toddler!

When my son hit 18-months he became obsessed with anything that had wheels. Believe it or not, I found it hard to find a book that could pack enough cars into it to keep him engaged (exception being Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things that Go which is also dynamite). Then - voila - I found this series and he absolutely loves it. There are enough books so that we can cycle through it continuously, about 3 a night. The illustrations are gorgeous and the rhyming stories flow easily without being too basic. Plus, there is a page at the end of each book that has some definitions so it also is good for building vocabulary. I can't recommend this series enough!

Truckload of fun is just that!

My son came home from kindergarten one day just a few weeks before his birthday and said Mom do you know the book "Roaring Rockets" by Ant Parker? I was amazed he knew the author. A book that had such an affect on my son is a must have for his library. When I saw that there was a box set of these wonderful little books, I knew he had to have them. The stories are fun and informative and the artwork is very detailed and that is great for my son. We have read them over and over and now he reads them to me!
