I read this every night for about five years. The oldest son loved it, which made it one of my favourites as well.

It's definitely sturdy! Our copy is about 20 years old now and the corners are a bit battered but it's in great condition.

It's obviously a bit basic but it's a great little informative book for kids that age, easy for them to read alone as they learn to read, gives them vehicles to look out for and identify on trips :)

The shortest book I've read all year. Only ten pages! But our son loved it, and that's what made the book enjoyable for me. For some reason, he loves construction vehicles. Actually, he just loves any vehicle. After I got done reading the book, he grabbed the book from me and started gazing at the pictures longer. He even acted like he read the book (he's almost three years old). It's neat to see him take an interest in books.

This is one of my daughter's favorite books. She loves reading about tractors and big machinery. This book has great pictures and simple words for her to follow. She doesn't get board, but it doesn't have so few words that she is left wanting more.

I loved that this board book is in the shape of a dump truck and so did my son. This is a Simple board book, it does not have a story, it is educational at a primary level and has the perfect amount of examples for each page (not too busy). The pictures are great.

My two-year-old quotes this book. And sleeps with it.

A rather average book about trucks for toddlers.
