This review is from: Smash That Trash! (Jon Scieszka's Trucktown) (Hardcover)

My 4-yr old son loves garbage trucks, so I thought this book would be perfect. It is cute, but my two-yr-old is better suited for it. It is a board book, it is short and it has a little wheel to turn on each page to find objects that are hidden on the page (but they really aren't hidden). Too easy and simple for my 4-yr-old.

My son is a huge fan of the trucktown series. He especially loves "Truckery Rhymes" and "Meet Jack Truck." "Smash that Trash" has been ok for us. Nothing too special.
