About the Book
A bit of muck is no match for the friendly Little Blue Truck! This best-selling read-aloud favorite is now available as a padded board book.Book Synopsis
Beep! Beep! Beep! Meet Blue. A muddy country road is no match for this little pick up--that is, until he gets stuck while pushing a dump truck out of the muck. Luckily, Blue has made a pack of farm animal friends along his route. And they're willing to do whatever it takes to get their pal back on the road. With a text full of truck sounds and animals noises to read aloud, here is a rollicking homage to the power of friendship and the rewards of helping others. Enjoy Blue's bedtime ride in Good Night, Little Blue Truck and his trip to the city in Little Blue Truck Leads the Way!Review Quotes
Schertle's (All You Need for a Beach) rhyming stanzas are succinct, and she gives readers plenty of opportunities to chime in with animal and vehicle noises; colored, standout fonts highlight these sounds for extra effect. McElmurry's (Mad About Plaid) gouaches recall the heyday of Golden Books in their combination of vividness, naïveté and sweetness, and her rich palette achieves verisimilitude that is no less satisfying for being nostalgic. --Publishers Weekly, starred review (4/28/08)About The Author

Nice Book For Early Readers. I did a quick read after getting this as a gift. It is a nice book for really young readers. The lesson of Teamwork and Helpfulness are there but some adults might want to help guide the kiddos understanding of how it is represented in the book.
Cute book!

My 2-year old nephew loves trucks. During Christmas, I bought him the Little Blue Truck Christmas storybook; it is his FAVORITE book. For his birthday, I bought him this Little Blue Truck book. These books are very inexpensive as I can't afford a lot right now. They have other Little Blue Truck storybooks that I would like to purchase for him in the future. They keep him engaged with the joy of reading, which makes mom and dad happy!
This is a very good book about helping others

This is a really cute little book about helping others. It has very good read-out-loud ability. It is the kind of book a child will ask you to read again and again. There are many lessons that a child can learn from it.
