My son can't get enough of this book We got this book from the library and now that it needs to go back I don't think my son will part with it. We read it 4-5 times a day and then when we aren't reading it he sits alone and pretends to read it. I need to get him his own.
Love This Book I got this book for my 3 yr old car/truck/semi crazed little boy. We read it night after night. Now whenever we pass by a truck he asks me what is it's name? Not asking if it's a dump truck or not but if it's Chuck the dump truck. It's a very well written book. I took it to his preschool of half autistic half not autistic kids and it kept the whole class entertained. Especially the boys! It's very lyrical and the reading of it flows smoothly.
we love this book! My son picked this book out at the library on a whim. However, now whenever we have to return it on our next trip we have to go straight to get "the truck book mom". No other truck book will do. and no other books are needed. It is a great book because it is simple and fun without too many details for little ones with limited attention spans. Not for the avid construction truck enthusist but wonderful for the little boy( or girl) who just loves trucks!
Fun truck book... kids will love it! If you have a kid who's into trucks, this book will really wow them. The pictures are cartoony and bold, the feel of the text is lively and fun. The only downside is that the rhyming verses don't scan well -- Todd seems to have a hard time getting the meter to flow, and often puts big, work truck-oriented words in in ways that don't really fit. It's clunky and makes the text difficult to read. But it's still a great book... kids will love it! (ReadThatAgain!)
Fun to read and my 3 yo son loves it OK, so the title might be a little misleading but monster trucks is indeed about trucks. My son loves to look at the colorful pictures and the descriptions are cleverly written with more sophisticated language than you usually get in a children's book. And the book also contains descriptions of each of the trucks. A great book for kids who love trucks.
