LBT LITTLE BLUE TRUCK BB

I first got this book for my son when he was about 15 months old and he did not have the patience for me to read through so many sentences of the book.My son turned out to be a big fan of vehicles and I decided to try this book again when he was about 30 months old. This time the book instantly hit a cord with him. His eyes shine up the moment I turn the page and dump truck appears and he shouts histerically 'HONK'. He loves how the BIG dump truck comes through and has big important things to do. My son and me speak each sentence with heavy voice to give that air of importance to the dump truck.Then when the important truck gets stuck, my toddler says 'Oh Oh, the truck is stuck- what can we do now'. He loves how LITTLE blue truck comes to help the BIG dump truck and how everybody hears little blue's BEEP BEEP BEEP. He loves repeating 'A lot depends on a helping hand from a few good friends'.In fact in these two months, he had made me read the book zillions of times and now he knows each sentence by heart. So many times, I have seen him reciting the entire book to himself like a poem and jumping with euphoria. Even when we go for a walk he pretends to be dump truck that gets stuck in every tiny puddle of the road and I become little blue truck who has to push with all its might.

Must Buyyyyy

My 1.5 year old loves this book! The art is great and story has a wonderful moral to it. I’m so thankful to have stumbled upon it!

I have been reading this book for my daughter since she was 2 weeks old (Yes!!, 2 weeks old ;)) and now at 2.3 years, she still LOVES IT!!!! I always got a giggle out of her as baby when I made OINK OINK 🐷 piggy sounds and now she can actually tell the entire story!!! It's fun to read as a parent with all the sound effects we get to make n It's awesome fun for the children to hear it as well. Plus, I think it teaches kids about animals n the sounds they make (they pick it up n learn to associate automatically) we don't have to teach them mechanically- Hey kid! time to learn animals n their sounds, ala the way I was thaught as a kindergarten!I fully recommend this book for your child!Also, I would like to add that I received the product before the expected delivery date and it was in excellent condition!

All in one package to capture a one year old's and a three year old's attention

The story and pictures are great. A fun way to review farm animals with your child. I like that the illustrator has chosen the fall season for the images. It reminds me of home and has given me a chance to teach my toddler about fall, a season we don't experience in India, with all the beautiful leaves and colours. The binding is also of good quality-- better than some of the other board books I've purchased recently.

Book's quality is good but it's too long story.She reads it but not understand the story and always read half of it.

Beautiful book. My 7 month old is enjoying it thoroughly! Sturdy board book format, lovely rhyming text, and beautiful illustrations. The message in the book is great too. Buy as a great addition for your baby's collection!

The Little Blue truck is wonderfully written in rhyme with great art work so that a toddler can follow the story. It is a story about a friendly blue truck in the country going for a drive. On his way he passes his friends the frog, the cow, the pig, the sheep, the chicken and her chick, the goat, the horse and duck, who all respond to his friendly "beep" with their respective animal sounds. Along comes a big dump truck, who is in a hurry and doesn't have time to let the duck cross the street before barreling down the road. Of course his rudeness is rewarded by getting suck in a mud puddle. All the animals hear the dump truck's pleas for help, but choose to ignore him because he wasn't nice to them. Little Blue knows better and goes to help the dump truck despite his rudeness. In the meantime Little Blue also gets stuck in the mud while trying to help. He cries "beep, beep, beep" and all of his animal friends come running to help him, who in turn help the dump truck. The dump truck learns his lesson, "Now I see a lot depends on a helping hand from a few good friends" and knows now to be polite to people because you never know when you might need their help. I think this is a wonderful tale of two wrongs don't make right while still showing that mad behavior is not acceptable. My two boys love this story and I don't mind reading it over and over again.

Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle and Jill McElmurry is a fantastic book for little kids. This version of the book is great for toddler-aged kids and younger, with its soft padded cover and board book pages.The story is told through rhyme and animal sounds. The art here is great, and the animals and vehicles really pop off the pages. It all comes together to make a perfect read aloud experience for little kids.At its core, this is a story of friendship and being kind to others. The little blue truck, Blue, is driving around saying hi to all his animal friends, before he nearly gets run off the road by a big dump truck. The dump truck eventually gets stuck in the mud and is rescued by Blue and his friends. The dump truck then realizes how important it is to be kind to others.I have bought at least 6 copies of this book to give to friends. I think its the perfect gift for little ones, and I'd recommend it highly.

As a children’s book author and illustrator, “Little Blue Truck” for me, is a gem that effortlessly captivates young hearts with its whimsical narrative and enchanting illustrations. Alice Schertle’s storytelling is a delightful symphony of rhythm and rhyme, making it a joy to read aloud. The characters, especially the lovable Little Blue Truck, come alive through Jill McElmurry’s vibrant and expressive illustrations, creating a visual feast for young readers. The seamless integration of language and imagery makes this book a standout in the realm of children’s literature, as it not only entertains but also fosters early literacy skills.

Lo recomiendo mucho, tiene unos dibujos preciosos y la historia sencilla pero interesante para niños pequeños. Tambien me encanta el precio.

Um livro encantador. No meu caso, tem sido um ótimo incentivo à leitura em inglês, contribuindo para ampliar o vocabulário do meu filho de 6 anos e também o meu.
