The illustrations are superb and the variety of vehicles are fun. From the beginning of truck design to the hugest of huge, Harry McNaught shows us not only what these metallic beasts look like but how they effect and change our world for the betterment of all. Five Rummm, Rummms from my son and I.
This is the book that got my son fascinated with trucks! His day care center has this book and his teachers told me one day that they LOVE my son; because while all the other kids are running around screaming, my son is sitting in the middle of the floor "reading" this book. Needless to say, I had to go out and get it myself, hoping it'd allow me some time to get things done around the house! My son really does love this book. He reads it every day when we get home from day care, and at 18 months old, he still hasn't torn any of the pages because he is SO careful with it. He doesn't want any damage to come to this favorite book of his!
The book is filled with classic color illustrations of twentieth century American trucks and cars. It's great for presenting the very many kinds of vehicles in a quieter way than a DVD. Many of these trucks are not seen much anymore, but they are still very interesting to young children who like books that don't need to be read. There is no story here, it's more like a catalog of all the various types of trucks -- modern and historical -- that have been used in America.The color illustrations have a lot of detail that is both fun and interesting to examine. The firehouse scene has lots of firemen doing various things. Many scenes feature dogs and pedestrians doing interesting things along with all the trucks. What a bargain. Pick this one and enjoy.
This was my son's favorite book as a little boy. He went through 3 copies of it because it was re-read so many times it would eventually fall apart. My son now has 19 month old twins and his son is crazy about trucks. I was thrilled that the book is still in print so my grandson can hopefully get as much enjoyment out of it as his daddy did.
This is the number one book that stands out from my childhood. That was over 30 years ago. But man, does it bring back sweet memories of a simpler time.I was obsessed with trucks and construction vehicles as a kid. There was no Nintendo. There was no iPad. There was me playing outside in the dirt with my Tonka toys for hours and me looking through this book when I wasn't outside.The illustrations are charming but don't use accurate perspective, giving them a look that's a little "off" when I look at it with adult eyes. But who cares? If you have a small boy who's interested in trucks, buy this book. It's cheap and, if they're like me, they will cherish its memories and look back on it with a smile.Excuse me, but I've got something in my eye.
This is not a board book nor particularly a book for toddlers, but it has been a favorite of my 2yo's going on 6+ months now. We don't really read the text yet, but he loves discussing all the different types of trucks and cars. Loves it way more than any of the big car & truck board books out there. I think it is just easier for him to hold & handle than a big klunky board book. The pages are easy for him to turn as well. All adds to his enjoyment I suppose!!
My two-year-old son liked this book so much he memorized the entire text, and for a while we took trips to construction sites, where he knew the names of all the equipment (how about "vibratory sheeps' foot?") and the jobs the various machines and trucks were built for. Realistic pictures and dynamic narration.
Great book for reading with children. The wide number of trucks included is instructive for both children and their parents. The images are good and imaginative. The book is sturdy for young children.
