There's nothing like the joy on a kid realizing exactly how big a truck is and that they get to climb in it to bring a smile to your face. After an hour or two, the honking does start to wear on you, but I know the kids love it! Thanks for bringing this book to my attention.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592806601187172338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-41519025149458334912016-08-29T12:12:38.323-04:002016-08-29T12:12:38.323-04:00My son was fascinated with vehicles and spent many...My son was fascinated with vehicles and spent many hours on the front porch (gated) along a busy street in State College, PA, running Matchbox vehicles over and around our tolerant German Shepherd Heidi. While cars lined up at the traffic light at the corner, my son would line his vehicles on the porch railing -- sorting and resorting by shapes, colors, purposes (firetrucks and ambulances led the pack!), and many other categories that made sense only to him. The construction vehicles were part of the mix. And every vehicle made its own noise. Love Jean's text and Leo Timmers' illustrations!bhamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646875798540645514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-25018032865325411682016-08-29T10:51:21.909-04:002016-08-29T10:51:21.909-04:00I loved this review, the author's comments hi...I loved this review, the author's comments hit the nail on the head! As a preschool teacher and grandmother of a truck lovin' toddler, I see the magic of trucks and children almost every day. This book would be wonderful to share with all the children I love!!Deb Willoughbynoreply@blogger.com
