5.0 out of 5 stars Great first pop-up for toddlers!, September 25, 2001

Little Red Car Gets into Trouble was the perfect first pop-up book for our 18-month old son. It's sturdily contructed, with pull-tabs that are easy for a first-timer to manipulate. We've found that the pull-tabs for most pop-up books may seem simple for us, but often require actions that are confusing or difficult for a very young toddler (pushing tabs left to right and back is suprisingly difficult for young toddlers who don't have good three dimensional hand control yet). In Little Red Car, all actions are so simple and well-marked that our son could do them on his own after the first try. Plus, it has a dump truck, a loader, and a stop light.

This review is from: Little Red Car has an Accident (Little Red Car Books) (Hardcover)

I had seen the Dutch version at my son's crèche and he had great fun with it. However in an unsupervised moment, he showed how much he liked the little red car by pulling all the little red cars out of the book and playing with them on the floor.

Same as for the Fire Engine to the Rescue.

Not sturdy enough.

I will get another one in a year if he has learned not to rip the popups out of his books.

The Little Red Car pop up books are terrific for toddlers. Inventive, well made...I hope they start publishing them again.
