We borrowed this book from the library and plan on buying it for our boys for Christmas! Our sons love this book and we read it about 10-15 times a day, no exaggeration! Actually, my 1.5 year old is trying to get me to read it right now. In this book, the Trucktown crew has changed the words to nursery rhymes and songs to fit Trucktown characters and it is wonderful! I catch our 3 year old singing the new versions all the time! This is a good investment for any parents with young boys.

I bought this book because my two-year-old little boy loves trucks. So I figured I'd give the book a shot since all the rhymes are truck-themed. The rhymes themselves are based off of traditional nursery rhymes like "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" or "Three Blind Mice" for example. It turns out he loves the book and will gladly let me read it to him from cover to cover. He really enjoys all the different types of trucks in it. It's nice too because I have learned some of the ryhmes from reading it numerous times and can recite them during boring tasks such as hand-washing or diaper-changing to keep him more engaged. I'm very happy with this book.

We LOVE this book, it is funny, cute, gets us singing. It has every common rhyme or song that you would sing with your kids. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star; Humpty Dumpty; Little Miss Muffet; Wheels on the Bus; but each song has the words changed to be about the Trucktown trucks. It is great!

my 2 yo son loves this book-- he loves nursery rhymes & big boy toys (like trucks & tractors), so putting the two together is a big hit for him! We initially checked it out from the library, he read it daily & cried when time to return it, so I had to buy his own copy!

This book is the best for any one with little boys who love trucks or girls too! My son knows all the rhymes & characters! He will sit & listen to me read this book for hours

My two Sons love Trucktown so I knew the book would be a hit even if it wasn't up to Mother Goose standards. The book was so much better. We read it at least once a day sometimes even more. I would suggest it for any boy and most girls.

We checked out Smash Crash from our local library which was a hit, then bought Truckery Rhymes for our son for Christmas. My husband and I enjoy reading the spins on classic nursery rhymes and our young son likes listening, time and time again. The illustrations are fantastic. Just wait because your child will be reciting the rhymes in no time.

I bought Truckery Rhymes for my 2 year old grandson who loves cars and trucks. He also loves this book and insists that his parents read it to him every night before he goes to bed. My daughter-in-law says that she can say the rhymes from memory now. The language is great and clever and the illustrations are wonderful. I highly recommend this book for any young child who loves things with wheels.

My 3 year old son who loves trucks also loves this book. It's already made it into the regular nightly rotation and I've heard him singing some of the rhymes throughout the day. He already knows some of them by heart and so he "reads" certain ones to us.

I have three grandsons, ages 2,4 and 5 who are, of course, into trucks. That this book, including it's illustrations, is a delight came as no surprise to this retired teacher who has admired Scieszka's work for many years.

I bought the first one at a going-out-of business-sale at Borders so I had a chance to really read it. Then I came home and ordered another one for the other family from Amazon.
