Young children will have lots of fun joining in with this book; making the different animal noises and remembering which ones have jumped in the truck with a bit of rhyming too. A bit odd when the tiger eats them and they get hiccuped up?

The kiddos at the library and I enjoyed this book at storytime. It wasn't what I was expecting before I read it the first time, and I loved that!

This is a fun, silly book, and the kids can do the animals noises. The end gets a little weird when the tiger eats the animals, then hiccups them back out. But the kids rolled with it.
