Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-For toddlers with an insatiable appetite for trucks, this is a perfect choice. Vehicles that crawl, roll, dig, dump, mix concrete, gobble trash, and do a multitude of other things are depicted in simple rhyming language and big, bold illustrations outlined in black. On the front and end pages are facts about different kinds of trucks that will fascinate slightly older children. A book that's similar in style to Byron Barton's Trucks (Crowell, 1986) and sure to be popular.

My son loves this book. So cute and the words are simple and easy for him to memorize and read to himself. My one complaint is in the original version it has little facts on each vehicle on the inside front and back covers that this book does not have.

Great but...

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2013

This is a great little book for any kid who loves trucks like my 14 month old son does. It shows several different types of trucks, tow trucks, bulldozers, concrete mixers, etc. lIt doesn't give the proper name to most of them so if that's what you're looking for, look else where. It's more a description of what each type of truck does. My kid enjoys it non the less and asks to read it several times a day. The reason it's four stars is there's one page that you have to flip the book to read upright and while I don't mind this, my toddler doesn't seem to like it. But my biggest gripe is that the last truck described, which is the kid in the book's favorite truck, is an ice cream truck. I just wish these authors of kids books wouldn't put such a positive emphasis on junk food. Not such a big deal that I'll stop reading it to him...just more of an annoyance.

A beloved book

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2016

Best board book ever. Found our first copy at a little free library four years ago; it fell apart through rough use and the emergence of teeth, and so we quickly had to replace it. It has a second life (or, at least, a few of the more presentable pages) as artwork for the kids' walls.

Our second child was a little more gentle but loved the book no less. She was especially enamored of the "trucks that sweep the street." We would sit together and read that page for a good five minutes at a time.

The bold colors and illustrations aren't fine art, but captivate a child's attention and imagination. These are simple drawings of trucks they see every day in the city, and the very fact that the rhyming text describes what they do rather than what they are called allows leeway for engagement with the child on the third, fourth, or fiftieth read-through. A very, very quick read but one that has been beloved by all three of my children.

Great Pictures, Great Reading

This was our son's favorite book for his first 2 years. The board book is durable and holds up to a tough baby boy. At first he loved the bright, bold colors. But the poetry, rhyme, and diverse trucks have kept it as a favorite read.

Trucks and the boys who like them

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2012

Verified Purchase

My 3-year-old grandson loves the book, I Love Trucks. He regularly asks to one of us to read this book to him. Actually, this is his second book. The first book was "dog-earred" and badly damaged with spilt milk. The book has bright colors, good illustrations and not too many words to keep a 3 year old focused on each page. It is also not bad for adults to read over and over again.

少し外国風だけれど、はたらく車の基本的テイストはおなじ

Reviewed in Japan on August 15, 2006

Verified Purchase

働く車が少しデフォルメされた絵でたくさん載っています。ごみ収集車、道路清掃車、消防車、トラック、レッカー車等。日本のものと少し違う点をあげると、道路清掃車が清掃する場面では、一輪車に乗ったピエロが紙ふぶきをまき、それを清掃車が片付ける、という絵。また消防車出勤の場面では、出勤中なのに操縦室に犬が顔を出しています。救急車のデザインも少し日本と違うので、息子は一瞬わかりませんでした。でも、グローバルな視野を身につけられますし、救急車のデザインが少し違っていても、赤十字のマークは同じなのです。救急車の緊急性は同じなのです。2歳の息子は日本の車の本も持っていますが、こちらにもすぐとけこみました。国を超えても働く車の共通性をすぐ見つけられる子供の能力に親としてびっくりしました。
