Joshua James Likes Trucks

by Catherine Petrie

Joshua James rides again! Great new artwork updates the classic story of the boy who loves trucks of any shape, size, or color. Who can resist huge trucks?

The Out and In My Community subset focuses on fun, safe ways our youngest citizens can participate as engaged members of their own communities, as well as how community workers and helpers contribute to their daily lives.

A (2) loved repeating the short phrases of this book after me. There's lots of repetition and bright pictures, so it would be great for early readers.

Read this to my son. I am looking forward to reading it with him again to do some of the things at the end.

My two year old loves this one, right now she is obsessed with watching the garbage truck come pick up the dumpsters every day, and semis, and 'dumpy trucks'. She finds trucks everywhere and likes reading both the names and colors (though I personally wouldn't consider a van or an ambulance a truck). Neat for little ones who are memorizing stories already, my little one knows it by heart!
