5.0 out of 5 stars My son loves it, December 5, 2001

By	Kim (FL USA) - See all my reviews

My son is 2 1/2 and a huge Bob the builder fan. Scoop is one of his favorite characters so this book was an instant hit. He gets so excited everytime we read it "can we rescue? yes we can" I would suggest this book for any young bob fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Big Storm, July 20, 2005

By	Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

A big storm rages through the night and causes lots of damage. Bob and Wendy get the calls and they head out fix things.

At farmer Pickle's, a couple of the trucks notice the pond has to be cleaned out. But before they can get started, Pilchard the cat climbs a shaky tree and gets stuck upside-down right over the pond. The trucks rally with Bird to find Bob and Wendy. But in the end all is well.

The book uses stills from the television show to illustrate the story. Each page has one picture that fills the whole page except the bottom where the text is. The text is a little clumsy. It reads like a transcript of the script with 'said Bob', 'said Muck', etc. stuck at the end of each line. But while a little clumsy to read the first time or two, the kids seem to really like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars My little man loves the BIG TRUCKS!!, October 4, 2002

By	Matthew T. McClellan "Kelly's Husband :)" (Fishers, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There's not a lot I really have to comment about this book. It's a cute extension of the Bob videos. My 2 year old loves to watch the movies, and likewise loves to look through this book. Now granted, a two year old won't really take the time to let me actually read it to him at this point, but he loves to look at and point out what he calls the, "Big Trucks".

If your child loves the 'Bob' movies, they'll love thumbing through this book!
