5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia, May 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: How Many Trucks Can a Tow Truck Tow? (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)

I'm buying this book as a nostalgia gift for my son who is now eleven. I used to borrow it from the library when he was 2, and he spontaneously memorized it back then in his toddler voice, to our delighted amazement. We have fond memories of our mutual enjoyment of the book, so it's high time he had his own copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars An all time favorite, March 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: How Many Trucks Can a Tow Truck Tow? (Please Read to Me) (Library Binding)

A charming and colorfully illustrated book to share with your truck-loving 2-4 year-old. I never tire of reading this to my son who likewise loves the rhymes and pictures AND the tow trucks!

This review is from: How Many Trucks Can a Tow Truck Tow? (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)

By far, my 3 year old son's favorite book of all time! He memorized all the words and spouts them off spontaneously. Any boy will love this book, especially if they love trucks!!! I bought this book for all of my friend's boys and gave them as birthday gifts! Everyone loved it!!!
