This review is from: Trucks Go Pop! (Pop Up Books) (Hardcover)

My little 3 year old loves this book. He just received it as a birthday present and we have "read" it everynight since. There is no "story". It is simply two trucks on a page yet the detail and the creativity is AWESOME. I enjoy "reading" it (admiring the pop up artwork) and I have since searched for other books by this author. Bob Staake is very talented I am sure you too will become a fan after you read this book. This is a great "jewel" for any child's library.

This review is from: Trucks Go Pop! (Pop Up Books) (Hardcover)

My daughter was given a baby shower, and in lieu of cards, we were asked to give a children's book so that she could start a collection. I knew amazon could help, so I began looking at pop up books for little boys...This book has a lot of detail and is very colorful and I thought it would be fun to make up stories with the little guy..I am sure they will have many adventures....

This book is great for a visual aid but there is nothing to read at all. It is not interactive so all you do is turn the page and look...I would not recommend this.
