My Truck is Stuck! by Kevin Lewis, illustrated by Daniel Kirk tells the story of a truck "haulin' a great big load" that gets stuck in a hole, while progressively larger vehicles try to help get it out.
Readers and listeners will count while different vehicles work together to extricate the stuck truck. A car, a moving truck, a jeep, a schoolbus and a towtruck all work at freeing the stuck truck. The large, bold font and lots of repetition make this a solid choice for trans...more

My nephew wasn't terribly interested in this book tonight. Unfortunately for My Truck is Stuck, it had to compete with T. Rex Trouble. My niece seemed to enjoy this one a little bit, though. I think that her fascination was with the pictures--there's a pretty cute little story going on in those.
The story itself is probably really better for kids even younger than my nephew (under 4 years old). I think this one really kind of lacked the adventure he seems to dig.

My son absolutely loves this book. He wants me to read it to him over and over again. It has multiple learning opportunities. All the vehicles that stop to help are different (moving van, bus, jeep, etc.), they are all different colors and the book works on counting as more and more vehicles try to help get the truck out.
This is a good book for beginning readers. It is a rhyming book that is about a truck getting stuck and all these different vehicles try to pull it out and can't until a tow truck comes along. Young boys would probably really enjoy this sort of book because of it being about trucks.
This is for kids younger than my daughter at 5 and we only brought it home because she was so determined to read exactly this book for whatever reason. It was cute and she got chuckle out of it - I'd recommend more for the baby and young toddler crowd than anyone else.
This is a fun book to read to a small child. The rhyming is great, the noises and the illustrations are wonderful. It has some counting. Different automobiles and trucks with a variety of animal characters. I would definitly like to add this one to my collection.
The fourth star is for the sake of my four year old, who requests this book time and again. Personally, I find the text a little awkward and I'm bothered by the fact that I can't tell what those bone-gnawing animals are supposed to be... but he loves it!
This is a fun book that takes a simple topic (a truck getting stuck) and adds fun illustrations and a rhyming narrative to turn it into a great book to read aloud. It's probably more of a favorite for boys, but our girls liked it too.
Maybe for little boys, this would beat out stories like Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum (Lisa Wheeler) because of the truck, but I would call this one a mediocre attempt at the getting stuck theme. Read Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum instead!
cute board book about a truck that gets stuck and has passing cars help out. a little humor for parents too that kids probably won't get on their own (the gophers staged the whole thing to steal the truck's tasty load!)
The boys had a little smile on their face while we read this book...they liked that the beavers were snatching all the bones in the truck while the truck was stuck and everyone was distracted trying to get it out.
I bought this as a surprise for Sam on a recent flight, and it didn't dissapoint. Sam spent a good amount of time on the plane pointing out "car? car? car?" and then we read it before bed every night of vacation.
My own kids and the kids I work with love this one. Love the repetitive phrases and pictures. The older ones crack up watching the bones being snuck off the truck!
Bright colors! My son picks this book over and over again. I don't mind because there are so many funny and interesting "extras" in the pictures. Rhyming.
Another favorite, Xander loves to count each of the trucks in the book and can pretty much read this to me by himself since it repeats alot.
This book could be used to teach basic counting, rhyming, and ways to oredict way will happen next to help solve a problem
We liked this one. A new vehicle book with a cute plot! I like the rhyming text, illustrations, and the mischievous gophers. This would be a great story for a flannel. It reminds me of the Gigantic Turnip.
My son loves this book. He even reads it back to me himself, because we have read it so much!
Needless to say, for anyone (especially little boys) that love trucks, this one is a keeper :)
This is a book that my son wants me to read to him over and over and over again. So fun.
k LOVED this book! i think this is the book that really started his love for books.

Awwww.... my brother loves this book. I've read it to him a lot and it's pretty cute.
A fun book to read. The illustrations, though, really pull down the quality of the book.
My daughter loves this book that we checked out at the library.
A new favorite! We have had a lot of fun reading this book.
The comical illustrations steal the show in this fun book.
Excellent for preschool truck story time.
Fun pictures and rhyming and counting.
The kids really lied this one too, it was cute.
