The Truck Book

This is a classic book for truck loving toddlers. Read to my children and now to my grandchild. No fancy noises - just great pics that names all the various vehicles- which your little one will remember!

My 2 yr old grandson loves all types of vehicles! We had a much loved & worn original version of this book. I knew I just had to get a replacement & this book doesn’t disappoint. The pictures are very engaging & interesting & our grandson loves it!

From the illustrations to the words, my kids absolutely love this book. The pictures are awesome. The material is interesting and I’m forced to read this before bedtime every single night.

Lots of different colored trucks doing lots of different jobs. Some of the trucks have special parts (a digging bucket, a plow blade, a wrecking ball) to do special jobs. Combine reading this with a ride to a construction site. Sit in the car or on the car at a safe distance and try to identify the special trucks doing different jobs. Vocabulary growth and real-world learning.

This book is so awesome for truck lovers. My 2 year old son is obsessed with construction equipment, garbage trucks, etc. and the price was awesome ($3.50), so I bought it for him knowing it was paperback. He is not very careful, so it has bent a bit and he ripped a spread out that I was able to tape back in. If my husband remembers, he can take it to work and use the big book stapler to fix it, but for now the tape is holding.I wish this was available in a board book or a paperback with sturdier paper. I would definitely pay more for a more durable option. Despite the super low price, I am still deducting a star because it's so flimsy and I worry it won't last long. I wish I could leave this in the child-accessible book shelf, but for now we are keeping it out of reach so it doesn't get destroyed. Older kids who know how to handle books shouldn't have any issues.

The trucks in the photos are all super old school and nostalgic, and the massive earth movers look like they’re from the 70’s. But my son will go find this book, bring it to me, and insist we read it, even though I’ve bought him over ten similar books.The art work is old school cool, and very detailed. Well worth it IMO.

This is the number one book that stands out from my childhood. That was over 30 years ago. But man, does it bring back sweet memories of a simpler time.I was obsessed with trucks and construction vehicles as a kid. There was no Nintendo. There was no iPad. There was me playing outside in the dirt with my Tonka toys for hours and me looking through this book when I wasn't outside.The illustrations are charming but don't use accurate perspective, giving them a look that's a little "off" when I look at it with adult eyes. But who cares? If you have a small boy who's interested in trucks, buy this book. It's cheap and, if they're like me, they will cherish its memories and look back on it with a smile.Excuse me, but I've got something in my eye.

He thinks is it great fun to read before bedtime. Just a great book for a vehicle minded child.
