4.0 out of 5 stars Trucktown is on a roll, July 11, 2008

Jon Scieszka and company have created a terrific new book series with Trucktown. We already have "Smash! Crash!" and are anxiouly awaiting the next book in the series. In the meantime, "Who's that Truck?" has filled the void for my grandson; he loves identifying the trucks and associating them with the earlier book. There are lots of names to remember, so he goes over the various trucks and their jobs frequently. A good purchase - a great series for preK and K.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!!, July 8, 2010

This review is from: Who's That Truck? (Jon Scieszka's Trucktown) (Board book)

My son is only 16 months but we read this book at least 3 times a day he loves it. He loves the rhyming and the trucks. It is a great series. As to the other peoples comments about the garbage truck being called a motormouth being sexist. I think they were just going for the fact that the garbage truck crunches trash all day like a mouth moving up and down. So I don't have a problem with it, and I'm a woman. So I would definitely recommend this book. Its great.

...but then tonight our 18 month old got upset when we got to the page about Garbage Truck Gabriella. We couldn't figure it out, until we looked very closely. The half ship on the opposite page from Gabriella has several teddy bears hanging on the inside!!! I'm not sure why this bothers my son, since there's no way he understands what hanging like that means, but as I went back to other pages he kept going back to that page and pointing and whining. I might cover the bears up with stickers to make it palatable. It's amazing the things kids notice.
