Arthur's Truck Adventue,
By
This review is from: Arthur's Truck Adventure (Nifty Lift-and-Look) (Board book)
A soft flap board book that explores the alphabet via a highway game, but the text is small and some pages are too busy. There are A-Z stickers included. These truck stickers list the kind of truck it is to help guide the reader to placing them on the correct spot.
The first two pages open up to the town of Elwood with various vehicles driving about as we follow Arthur's family setting out on their vacation. Arthur and his sister D.W. are waving out the windows in their blue car that has baggage on the top rack. They are passing by a construction site on the right with a house ablaze as a firefighter is on the ladder with what appears to be a tool to break the window to the room where the fire is coming from. There is white smoke emitting from the chimney and this is rather odd to be showing a lone firefighter attempting this dangerous task on his own. There is no fire engine and no visible signs on water being used on the flames. Perhaps it is a good thing the Hospital is across the street! Another house up the highway has furniture outside on the lawn, maybe a sign stating a yard sale would be in order. There are street signs and the mileage sign advising 45mph. In the town of Elwood is a shopping center, town hall, gas station, diner, warehouse and the last spot at the Z location is the Elwood Zoo. D.W. is riding a tractor at this market where wool, milk and cheese are also for sale. No adults are present on these pages and no evidence of any of the friends showing money to pay for any of the items. The book does not flow very well since we start out on a vacation with the kids in the back seat of the car and then the friends are in other pages of Arthur's Truck Adventure. What would seem like a book geared toward sparking the imagination of a child instead offers bad choices in the examples. The theme is not followed through the story of Arthur's Truck Adventure and children are allowed to do as they please with no supervision. Since this is a board book the recommended age would be toddler through preschool. However I am not really sure what the benefit would be besides placing the A-Z truck stickers along the ride on the first two pages.

Arthur's Truck Adventure,
By A Customer
This review is from: Arthur's Truck Adventure (Nifty Lift-and-Look) (Board book)
Great Book! My boys (ages 3 1/2 and 20 months) loves this book! It is a great tool to teach them the alphabet, letter recognition, etc. The only down fall is they use it so much the reuseable stickers are starting to tear and loose their adhesive.Terrific gift item.
