This is a straightforward educational board book presenting different types of trucks and their activities, rendered in chunky concept-drawings, with minimal text. Most little boys go through a stage of being fascinated with trucks, and this was one of the first books I have used to introduce the different functions and shapes that trucks can take. Kids will outgrow it quickly, though, since it lacks detail for them to grow into; if you can only get one book about vehicles, get Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things that Go. But if you're looking for a fresh temporary read for your truck-fascinated toddler, do pick this up at the library.
My son has recently started saying "truck," and he says it every time he sees or hears a truck (or any other vehicle, for that matter). So I got this book yesterday, and he's already developed a near-obsession with it. We spent 25 minutes (a long time for a toddler) just turning the pages and looking at it this morning, sometimes with me reading, and sometimes with him just exclaiming "truck!" and pointing to every truck on every page. And then this afternoon we read it, oh, 25 times conservatively speaking. My son really wasn't that interested in books at all before a couple of weeks ago, so his fixation on this book is kind of funny. I think we'll get the Machines at Work book next.
"Trucks," by Byron Barton, is an educational treat for the youngest readers. A very simple text accompanies colorful illustrations of many kinds of trucks. We see a garbage truck, delivery truck, tow truck, dump truck, cement mixer, and more. The artwork of this book is distinctive: the crisp illustrations have an almost mathematical precision to them, and are rich in contrasting colors. I give the book an enthusiastic recommendation.
There really isn't much to this simple board book (other editions are currently out of print)--just some simple, geometric drawings in primary colors with a text consisting of basic words in short sentences. But what a great jump into books!My two-year-old son loves to read this book over and over. We start with the text and then "read" the pictures. ("Where's the purple one going? In the tunnel? That's right!") My son knows all the words and "helps" me read it, which makes him quite proud of himself--and me of him.
We love these books! So appropriate for preschoolers in toddlers! The words are simple and straightforward, but have nice repetition and do a nice job of storytelling. Both of my young boys have it memorized. The illustrations are simple but not cheap looking, if that makes sense. As in they are simple, but are also nice art. The solid lines and bright colors combined with the simplicity of the pictures also make them fabulous the child development stage of the kids the book is intended for. My boys, and our nephew, have all gravitated to this book (and the few of Barton's other books that we have...Planes, Trains). We have a good-sized children's library, but this has been a staple for a few years now and we will continue to love it! Highly recommended!
How wonderful it is to have a book that your child wants to read several times a day! My son loves all the different types of trucks and what it is they are doing. I love that it is starting to teach him things like "over" and "through". Please also try "Trains" and "Boats" by the same author, you will enjoy!
Fantastic book, compact size, easy to travel with or bring to restaurant. My son loves going through and looking at all the trucks and the "guys! guys!" depicted in the book. What's nice about this book is that it displays an entire scene for each truck, which gives the child a concept of what the truck is used for, as opposed to a book just with photos of trucks. I would also recommend Trucks by bright baby if you're looking for a small, fun, compact board book for truck-lovers!
My one year old son LOVES this book and many others produced by the same author. It's usually a toss up between this one and the Trains book. The board box is very durable and I have zero concerns about letting my son go to town on it. He drags it all over the house and looks at it.
