The rhythm is fun and easy to read aloud, the illustrations are attractive to look at and have lots of detail to go into with preschoolers (can you point out the sheep? how many toads are there? etc.), it has a plot line (a must for books you read over and over and over and over again) and the material is sturdy. Our son isn't quite old enough to gnaw on the pages yet, but we're spilled things on it and it's been shoved in and out of diaper bags and is holding up very well so far. I enjoy the larger size as it's easier to hold aloft to read to infants that are laying down while still being able to see the words. This is already a family favorite and I anticipate many years of readings ahead. The truck must swear like a sailor though; they had to beep out the entirety of his dialogue!","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"E***R"},"reviewBody":"I can not say enough good things about this book and artist. The narrative is told in a rhythm of rhymes bringing the reader through a rural area learning about kindness. The Little Blue Truck teaches children about the importance of being kind and how one act of kindness can cause a rippling effect among those around you. We love to talk about the animals and their sounds as we look at the beautiful illustrations which light up every page of this book. There are pages that I just am amazed by the paintings and how lively they are. My child enjoys hearing me read this story often and I do too. Great message. The book is made with a thick cardboard making it difficult to bend or be ruined by young children learning about books for the first time. It's a great size too. We like to throw it in the back pack or in our over night bag when going out of town.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"K***A"},"reviewBody":"We’ve had this board book through four kids now, it is awesomely durable, and the story is always a favorite!","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"B***T"},"reviewBody":"If you do a lot of reading to your kids, you'll quickly learn that there are a lot of \"poem\" books, and they can be nice since they're more fun to read out loud than prose, but plenty are atrocious because the authors somehow didn't know that poetry requires meter to work as well as rhyme (to say nothing about the tons of poem books out there with horrible approximate rhymes).That in mind, \"Little Blue Truck\" is an absolute pleasure to read because its rhymes work and most of all because its meter is flawless; it almost begs to be sung it flows so well.The content is simple and uncontroversial, though I would mildly object to the implication that someone with \"big important things to do\" is wrong for not taking the time to chit-chat with everyone.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"S***S"},"reviewBody":"With our local grandchildren grown, this book was new to me when we visited our younger grandsons out of state. This was the favorite book of the 3 1/2 year old, and also my favorite. Wonderful rhyming story with fabulously perfect illustrations (watch for the frog!) and also a wonderful message. We've bought several copies for friends and just sent a copy to another friend whose first grandchild is due soon. I highly recommend it, and also its sequels. All very well done.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"G***Y"},"reviewBody":"I can't even explain how awesome this book is. Not only does it teach a good lesson to your child, it is tremendously fun to read. The challenge is to read it without singing it. With no music (obviously) and no song to model after, I can guarantee that you will be singing to the exact rhythm that is supposed to be used!In not the only one in love with this book though. My 14 month old son is a huge fan! I have been reading this book to him regularly since he was about 4 or 5 months old. I expect to continue reading it for at least another 2-3 years! The only things that might get in the way of that are the many sequels for this book.This is am absolute must have for a child's book collection! You will get at least 4 or 5 years out of this one book!","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"J***K"},"reviewBody":"And my son likes it a lot too lol. The pictures are artfully done, the rhyming, rhythm & flow all work together to make it an easy read, the moral of the story is great and I like that the book itself has character (ex: \"...big important wheels got stuck.\")I only bought it because a lot of people in a toddler group I'm in had recommended it (I wasn't familiar with it before I ordered it), but I'm really glad that I took their suggestion because this is one of the few books by son has that I don't mind reading multiple times a day.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"L***Y"},"reviewBody":"The kids love this book and the rest of the collection, makes a great baby gift.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"C***K"},"reviewBody":"My daughter has a speech delay so we're trying to find more ways to prompt her to vocalize her words. This book was recommended by speech therapists since there are several repeatable words that urge children to speak. Beep is the main word, but lots of animal sounds like Moo, Cluck, Neigh, Croak, Baa, and the dump truck's Honk. This was the first time I've heard my daughter say \"Honk\" after just a few days of reading this book to her. Now she knows how to say all the words, and it's become a practice exercise for us. She giggles after she says the words because my face lights up hearing her seldom heard voice.The story itself is fun and shares the lesson of being courteous and friendly because you never know when you'll need help from friends.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"M***1"},"reviewBody":"I just love this book, as well as my 3 years old kid. The illustrations are awsome, and the story is a great lesson on the importance of friendship, kindness and teamwork, just what every child needs. I fully recommend it!","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"M***N"},"reviewBody":"I first got this book for my son when he was about 15 months old and he did not have the patience for me to read through so many sentences of the book.My son turned out to be a big fan of vehicles and I decided to try this book again when he was about 30 months old. This time the book instantly hit a cord with him. His eyes shine up the moment I turn the page and dump truck appears and he shouts histerically 'HONK'. He loves how the BIG dump truck comes through and has big important things to do. My son and me speak each sentence with heavy voice to give that air of importance to the dump truck.Then when the important truck gets stuck, my toddler says 'Oh Oh, the truck is stuck- what can we do now'. He loves how LITTLE blue truck comes to help the BIG dump truck and how everybody hears little blue's BEEP BEEP BEEP. He loves repeating 'A lot depends on a helping hand from a few good friends'.In fact in these two months, he had made me read the book zillions of times and now he knows each sentence by heart. So many times, I have seen him reciting the entire book to himself like a poem and jumping with euphoria. Even when we go for a walk he pretends to be dump truck that gets stuck in every tiny puddle of the road and I become little blue truck who has to push with all its might.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"M***G"},"reviewBody":"My son loves this book - actually every LBT book but this in particular is what what made him fall in love with this series.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"S***A"},"reviewBody":"Libro davvero molto bello che con semplicità e allegria tratta temi interessanti come la gentilezza e l'amicizia.Lo consiglio vivamente!

Someone recommended this book to me, and It looked right up my car-loving son’s alley. Boy was I right! He’s 2.5 and has a speech delay, and lately he’s been in an anti-book phase. I’m used to him shutting the book on me after the first page. He’s been bringing this to me all night to read!! 🙌🏼 He also picked up on the story quickly and has been finishing the sentences (great for building vocabulary!).This book is great because it’s simple but still has a nice story line. It’s simple enough for distracted toddlers to follow! The illustrations are gorgeous, and the animals are so cute. I love that it incorporates counting, common sounds/action words, animals, and general Christmas themes. This is perfect to start reading early before the holiday season, especially before you go and get your Christmas tree. I highly recommend this for all ages, but especially 2 year olds. The tree lights up at the end… such a wow factor!! ✨This is also on the Amazon fire tablet for free (on FreeTime), so your little one can read it wherever they are. Hope this helps! ☺️","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"K***A"},"reviewBody":"The media could not be loaded.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Cute Christmas book to gift for a kid or baby.

They do not light up in dark rooms.I never write amazon reviews but this one is really important. My friend sent this book for my toddler and he LOVES IT but the lights only worked like twice. It was a real bummer and a huge tragedy every time we got to the last page. So I ordered another one, opened it when it arrived, and hooray! The lights worked. We read it that night and the lights would not work, much to my son’s dismay. Tonight I was reading it again (we read it nearly every night) and my son said “awww, the lights don’t work.” I told him I was sorry about that, that even the new one doesn’t work anymore and sometimes that’s just how life works. Then my husband said over the monitor: “shine your phone flashlight on the lights.” I assumed this would provide an optical illusion, but did it anyway - and they lit up!! Every single time! They seem to have some sort of sensor that causes them to not activate if the room is too dark. So shine your phone flashlight on them and have a happy kiddo.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"T***M"},"reviewBody":"The contents of the book are great and consistent with the other Little Blue Truck books. I guess it’s technically still a board book, but the pages are very thin. They aren’t thin enough for my toddler to rip through, but they don’t have the thick cardboard feel of a traditional board book. The last page lights up which is cute and fun for my toddler, the lights stop flashing when the book is closed.

The illustrations are terrific. I started reading my board book story of this to my granddaughter at about 14 months after stumbling upon it in a book store. This rhyme is great and she loved all the animal sounds at first. Then she was interested in the whole story. There is a meaningful lesson to the story as well, that's a good reminder for adults. Sometimes, slowing the pace of life and treating others with respect is far more important than getting ahead (in traffic, and as we pass others during the daily routine).

It is so so cute. Little Blue Truck is a super friendly truck that always makes time to say hello to eveyrone as he gets to where he is going.Because he is so friendly and kind, he has made many animal friends who also greet him with their signature species sound (Blue says Beep, Frog says Croak, Piggy says Oink, etc...). Along comes a rude Dump Truck who is too busy to say hello to anyone and wants them out of his way. As he rushes by he ends up getting stuck in the mud. It is so fitting because he is very much a stick in the mud. He calls for help, but nobody hears him (or nobody cares). Little Blue Truck heard him and came to his rescue, but in the process, he got stuck too. Blue calls for help and the animals can't get there fast enough. They all push Blue who pushes the Dump Truck and finally get them all free. The Dump Truck has learned an important lesson about being kind and befriending others, and that you need friends because when you get in trouble they will be there for you.I absolutely love how simple the story is all while giving a very strong and important message. It is all about slowing down, enjoying those around you, and the importance of kindness. On top of it being a great story, the art is fantastic. It has a great feel of nostalgia and whimsy. It isn't as vibrant as many of our other board books, but that style of art wouldn't fit this.It is also great because the rhythm and rhyming work very well and are fun to read. My son absolutely adores all the animal sounds and we have a lot of fun with that.I would call this a must have in any little one's book collection.","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"A***R"},"reviewBody":"Our boys (ages 4 & 2) LOVE this book, and so do we. We've probably read it 40+ times now. It has a great rhyming cadence that is catchy and fun. Although we usually strive for animal noise realism, this book reads better if you just say the words instead of imitating the sounds. Having been through it so much, we've discovered a lot of little life lessons to be learned through it. It makes it enjoyable and worthwhile for parents to read to their children again and again. Don't point them all out at once though!* The animals are kind to those who are kind to them.* The animals are unkind to the dump truck who is unkind to them. (These are the natural inclinations of little children.)* The little blue truck is ALWAYS kind, even to the dump truck who is mean to him. (This is hard to do, but what we desire for our children to do. And, he's more than just \"nice\" but actually helps him.)* The dump truck's attitude was changed by the little blue truck's undeserved kindness more than by the animals giving him what he deserved.* The dump truck thought what he was doing was more important than being kind to those around him, and his pushy attitude gets him stuck in trouble. We teach our children that people are more important than things.* After the animals come to help, everyone does their part. Each contribution matters, and it couldn't have been done without any one of them, even the big green toad!* Even while helping, the dump truck is covering them all with mud. Sometimes helping is hard, dirty work. But they are diligent to push through it until the work is done.This is not a silly children's book that you would grow tired of reading. I would recommend this for any age, and it's definitely become one of our family's favorites. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. :-)","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"G***L"},"reviewBody":"This book was my son's favorite for his first three years. I read it so much to him that I had it memorized and we had to buy a second book because the first one fell apart. The pictures are great and give a lot of personality to the Little Blue Truck, the animals, and the Dump Truck. The rhyming text is wonderful and I've read that reading stories that rhyme or nursery rhymes to children in their first couple years of life helps increase language comprehension and association more effectively than non-rhyming stories because they are able to respond to rhythm and tone before they understand language. This is a lovely book for that purpose. It not only rhymes but also has animal sounds which my son loved.The premise is that the little blue truck winds his way through the countryside beeping his horn to say hi to all the animals and the animals say hi back with their own sounds (baa, maa, cluck, peep, naaayy, etc.). Then the big Dump Truck comes barreling through in a rush and gets stuck in the mud. The blue truck tries to help but gets stuck too. Then all the animals hear the beep of the Little Blue Truck and come to rescue him and the Dump. The sweet moral of the story is if you help others they will in turn help you when you need it. I think the other underlying moral for adults is to slow down and be aware of your relationships and don't just be so focused on yourself. We are a community and we all need each other. Anyway, that is a very underlying current and is certainly not the intent of the story. Don't hesitate to buy this book for all the babies you know!","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0","bestRating":5}}]}]}}
