Editorial Reviews

Review

". . . big, swooshing street sweeper; the taxi with screeching brakes; the busy police car; the frowning bus. The angry traffic standoffs and the small truck’s triumph will be welcome fuel for many preschoolers’ imaginative play."--Booklist "It's in the fusion of the old-fashioned with the modern-eclectic--one man in the crowd listens to an iPod--that the book's artistry shines."--Publisher's Weekly —

The first books I remember loving are "Harold and the Purple Crayon" by Crockett Johnson and "Animal Fair" by Alice and Martin Provensen. I also loved "Ferdinand" by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson and "What Do You Say, Dear?" by Sesyle Joslin and Maurice Sendak. Later on I loved "Homer Price and the Donut Machine", "Alice in Wonderland", "Grimm's Fairy Tales", and one about bread dough that keeps rising and rising, I wish I could remember the name of it.
I've lived in big towns and small towns, in mountains and valleys, beside the ocean and across the ocean, and now I live in Taos, New Mexico in a house with big windows that look out on mountains and sagebrush. My husband, our dog, Harry, and I take a lot of long walks in the desert.We spend the Summer in a tiny cabin on a tiny island in a big lake in northern Minnesota. We've named the island Good Dog Island in honor of all the good dogs we've known.

Too negative

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

My one year old loves the first little Blue Truck book so we were so excited to purchase this one! I'm sad to say it misses the mark in many ways. The first one had a majority of happy, positive interactions with just one mean guy. This one is ALL mean guys. Pages and pages of negativity and mean looking drawings. We were disappointed.

Not the sequel you're looking for

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

A huge disappointment compared with the previous book. Too many pages of unvaried material, doesn't have the cute factor of the other one (no animals), and the story doesn't make sense and is very convoluted compared with the other one. If you're looking for a good sequel to the Little Blue Truck, this is not what you're looking for.

It's OK

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

My son LOVES Little Blue Truck so I ordered this one for his birthday. It's an OK book but doesn't flow like the original. The beginning of the book it starts real nice like the original but then it starts to change. Maybe because it's longer than the original, that's why it doesn't flow as easily? I'm not sure.
At the end of this one, Little Blue doesn't end the book with his trademark 'Beep Beep Beep' so that was disappointing. That's my sons favorite part. So when I read this to him I say the beep, beep, beep even though it's not at the end.

Warm up...

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

It was always going to be very tough to write a better book then the first Little Blue Truck book. This one certainly takes a little while to warm up to, but there's no doubt you will like it after a while. It references different types of cars doing different actions in the city traffic (a little more advanced then just the animal sounds of the first book) and has another moral undertone about doing things "one at a time - is the way to go" - frankly I refer to it when my son tries to rush around or tries to eat too much too quickly. The message actually works quite well for him aged 23 months. I have given it three stars because I know it will take you a while to warm up to it.

Love the books; wish they made accompanying toys

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a happy, rhyme-y book that my grandson absolutely adores. I have purchased ALL of the Little Blue Truck books (which includes a sticker book) that are out there and I can't help thinking that the authors are missing out on a sure thing by not merchandising the little blue truck. If there was a pillow version of it, my grandson would sleep with it. If there was a Christmas tree ornament of it, it would be his very favorite. And of course if there was a toy little blue truck with all the attendant animal friends; he would be thrilled. See where I'm going with this?

Little Blue Truck is a family favorite, but this book is a disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

My two-year old twins love the Little Blue Truck and since the first book was such a hit, I had to buy the second. The story isn't as good as the first book (most reviewers agree)... but the dialogue from the other vehicles in the story is just plain rude and nasty. I originally gave this book three stars, as my twins love the whole country truck goes to the big city plot.... but each time I read it, I dislike it more and more. I will not read it as is. I have changed the story and eliminated the nasty stuff, but you still see the nasty faces on the other vehicle characters in the illustrations. Just a major disappointment that this could be considered appropriate language and message for such young children.

A worthy sequel

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm sorry, I very much disagree with the reviewers saying this book is too negative and not as good as the first one. My 16 month old son ADORES this book as much as the first and the Spring time book (parents are harsh on that one too but it's my personal favorite cuz it's so fun to read out loud).

The art is phenomenal. The overall message is clear and as a parent, it's admirable that even though the Little Blue Truck gets pushed around a bit in the city, he is still so kind and compassionate, offering his help to the Mayor, just as he offered his help to the mean Dump Truck in the first book. Kindness perseveres and he's acknowledged and celebrated for it.

I think this is a worthy sequel and it can be made a super fun read with your child. I personally like to give the Mayor a Colonel Sanders accent and have my son celebrate with me at the end for the Little Blue Truck saving the day. And the parents complaining there's no "beep beep beep" at the end? Come on. Lol. Y'all are too harsh on this series, lighten up a little. It's a solid kids book. I almost didn't buy it cuz of these low reviews but I'm so glad I did. And you should too, if you're thinking about it. Your kiddo will love it. Especially if you add accents.

Faulty book amd really disappointing!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I'm extremely disappointed to receive this faulty book, I hate sending things back and now I'm worried that it won't be here intoned for Christmas if I do have to send it back to get a replacement. My little boy loves cars and I was so excited upon ordering this book so you can only imagine my disappointment. Does nobody check these items before sending them? I will be contacting the seller in the hopes they can just send me a book that's not faulty. Otherwise if you don't get a faulty one, it's a lovely book.

Extremely poor effort to copy the style from Little Blue Truck (farm version).
Writer just want to make some money by selling some similar styled book. Nothing much for children in this book except how to be a slave to the mayor!!!

A jolly good read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

My kids (16 months twins) love the first book 'Little Blue Truck'. They always ask for it to be read and follow the story in their own words. So I bought this book too. I think it's a good story, a good change from country to the city. My kids love this book too. Though I think they have to be a little older to appreciate it better. It is a book I will recommend.
