The set should be just the ticket for the nursery school market.

This review is from: Tremendous Tractors (Amazing Machines) (Paperback)

I purchased Tremendous Tractors, Flashing Fire Engines and Terrific Trains for my grandson. He has a lot of books and loves being read to - these 3 are on very high rotation. He likes to have them read to him over and over. For my point of view the illustrations are bright and lively and the words flow and rhyme well. They also provide intelligent information on each "machine" which is capable of being understood by your average 3 year old. I thoroughly recommend them to all the parents and grandparents out there - your little ones will love them!

Our little boy loves tractors, so this was a hit, but words are not flowing and harder to read.

My 20 month old son loves tractors and this book had very colorful and different tractors on every page. It also had the animals driving the tractors, which he loved.
