Little Green helps them do their jobs with gusto. Until . . . there is a little too much gusto. They can go, go, go . . . but how will they stop?

OMG the small reader LOVES this book. He loves the word "GO," thanks to "Go, Dog. Go." And this book is full of "cars" doing all sorts of things. The design is so cute and it's really fun to read.

A cute book for teaching children the meaning of traffic light colors.
Age: 1-year-old-preschool
Things that go: construction
Emotion: Patience, balance, take your time
Eff it, I'm giving it 5 stars. Harper achieves so many things in this highly attractable book. One day, Little Green says his first word: go. Excited to share his word with the world, he bounces inside of an empty stoplight and shouts it for everyone to hear. Waking from their naps (holding adorable things such as a blanket and teddy bear), the construction vehicles wake up and zoom to action. Little G ...more

Cute book to use for a transportation story time. Children will enjoy shouting "GO!" with Little Green and "STOP!" with Little Red.

This was a fun book, and the kids really got into it. You can do go & stop loud & quiet and fast & slow. Great for opposites PLUS it helps teach them about the traffic signals!
Fun to read out loud and got my two year old "reading" the words stop and go when he sees little green or red!

I LOVE THIS BOOK. Mom doesn't, she thinks it is silly, but it is my favorite and I would make her read it 3 times every night if I could. I found it one day on the shelf when mom made me pick out a new book instead of reading the Santa book again. Then for a while every night I ask for "the truck book" and mom tries to tell me this book isn't really about trucks but I don't care. I even slept with it sometimes.

This was a hit at our house. We had to immediately read it again. The kids are learning about stop and go, and have also taken an interest in vehicles. This book also teaches project management; how much to go go go, and when to stop. I would have liked yellow to show up sooner, rather than as the punchline.
Interesting presentation of the concepts of red and green traffic lights using basic machines which are building a bridge. This is a fun, active story with good appeal to many children. This story struck me subtlety with a couple of underlying themes of balance and cooperation, two concepts lacking in today’s world.
This one is great to read at storytime. You can review colors and have the kids help you when you get to the color word. It also has great tie-ins for activities afterward, like freeze dance or Mother May I.
The story of 'go' and 'stop'. All 'go' leads to problems. All 'stop' means nothing gets done but when 'go' and 'stop' work together, a new bridge is built.
Fantastic book for read alouds but also great for those digger/truck kids. ...more

My 5 year old and 3 year old both loved this book. After a few reads one of them would read all the "Go"s and the other would read all the "Stop"s. That made it even more fun for me to read it to them again and again!

This story is cute, and it's a great way to explain colors, words, and signs to kids. My son loved this one, mostly because it has cars in it.

Henry loved it, I felt like it was missing some plot. Adorable illustrations.
This was a cute book using "Stop!" (the red circle) and "Go!" (the green circle). It was fun to read aloud with my toddler.

This book is a good way to introduce the meaning and symbolism of GO and STOP.

We picked this book up at the library. It is excellent and received multiple reads. Four year old and infant both enjoyed this at the same time.
Very hard to read for storytime, but I think it'd be fun for a one-on-one read.

Dammit, it would have been trivial to make some characters other than male. One star because cooperating is good, but come on.
Cute for the littles and how to work together.
I thought my son was going to cry when I said we had to return it lol. He LOVED this book!
Meaning of go and stop. Colors red green and yellow introduced. Things that go. Fun.
Really cute drawings, interesting words, and information about the real world (green means go!).
Really fun with toddlers--one slightly older kid (preschool age) was SO jazzed to point out all the different vehicles. I'd like to try this with preschool or even kindergarten.

Appealing book for kids who like trucks, machines, and things that go.

This would be a good book to read with preschool.
Fun shout out books for young kids to learn the stop go concept
A fun (and very interactive!) picture book for storytime. Basic directions, opposites, colors, construction equipment, trucks/cars... tons of fun potential storytime themes to use this with.
The story is good enough. The preschoolers loved being able to read all the "stop" and "go."
