Little Blue Truck

This is a nice lesson about being nice and helping others. Kids love the "beeps" and animal sounds. Ever though they memorized all the words to story, they contine to want me to read it to them again and again.

Omg! My little brother is 2 and he has this book. Not on my nook, but he actually has it! He loves cars, so of ccourse he'll love the book about the friendly little blue truck! I read it to him almost everyday. He loves it!

My grandkids really like this book. I wish the Nook version had a "Read to Me" option. Sweet story!

Highly recommend- a great moral to the story. Suitable for all ages. Especially 2-5 yr olds

This is a great story plus it has a good message about being nice to others. Just because it's about a truck doesn't mean it is just for boys. My daughter loves all the animals (plus their noises) that the blue truck greets!

Very happy with this book. So cute, love everything about it.

This book is beautifully designed, sends a good message AND if we don't read it to my son every single night he throws a fit. He requests it by name, "beep, beep" it's the first thing he points to every morning he loves this and the Little Blue Truck in the City.

My son LOVES this book - the pictures, the story, and the fact I have a differnt voice for both trucks and all the animals. We fell upon this book when it was a deal for a few dollars more if you bought two children's books. Excellent book - highly recommend for the kiddos!

Busy moms, you better find space on the shelf and carve out some time to read (and re-read) The Little Blue Truck. It’s a wonderful story about the value of friendship and the importance of treating others with kindness. In Schertle’s tale, the reader travels with Blue, greeting his friends with friendly beeps and receiving replies in the form of “Oinks,” “Neighs,” and “Moos.” The story rhymes and flows with ease. The moral is woven through the story from the beginning and was an immediate point of conversation for my five year-old at the book’s end. McElmurry’s illustrations bring the vehicles and farm animals to life, and gives them delightful personalities. They’re all brightly colored and expressive, capturing the action and adding to the charm of the book. The illustrations add to the humor of the story and several make me giggle even after reading it many times now. My personal favorite is the big green toad, with his sparkling teeth and bulging biceps, standing knee-deep in the mud. The first time we read the book was followed immediately by a second read at my son’s request. He enjoyed the characters and the story, noting the Dump’s unpleasant behavior and how kind Blue’s friends were to help push him (and the Dump) out of the mud. This book was an instant favorite in our house for mom and kid(s) alike, as I’m sure it will be in yours, too! Book received by: Gift.

My toddler absolutely loves these books! I like the message and the artwork is wonderful!

Such a cute book! Teaches a great lesson as well

very nicely illustrated.

I often give this book for new-baby gifts, often with a little toy blue truck!

I love this book. My 19 month old loves the animals and the rhymes. I would highly recommend this book.

I love this book and so does my son. I've bought it for several other kids as well because we love it so much! Sends a great message to treat others with kindness!

My two year old knows this book by heart, forward and back. Beep, Beep, Beep! Thanks for this book!

My daughter LOVES this book! We read it so much that she has started to read it to me from memory and she is only 2. Really fun rhyming and animal sounds.

Very good message on this story, my daughter loves it.
