How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsIf the lights don’t work, TRY THIS:
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2019
TL;DR: shine your phone flashlight on the lights and they will activate. They do not light up in dark rooms.

I never write amazon reviews but this one is really important. My friend sent this book for my toddler and he LOVES IT but the lights only worked like twice. It was a real bummer and a huge tragedy every time we got to the last page. So I ordered another one, opened it when it arrived, and hooray! The lights worked. We read it that night and the lights would not work, much to my son’s dismay. Tonight I was reading it again (we read it nearly every night) and my son said “awww, the lights don’t work.” I told him I was sorry about that, that even the new one doesn’t work anymore and sometimes that’s just how life works. Then my husband said over the monitor: “shine your phone flashlight on the lights.” I assumed this would provide an optical illusion, but did it anyway - and they lit up!! Every single time! They seem to have some sort of sensor that causes them to not activate if the room is too dark. So shine your phone flashlight on them and have a happy kiddo.

1.0 out of 5 starsDisappointing in the series
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2019
We have several Little Blue Truck books and we love reading them. The original one is a very nice board book, and the Halloween has flip panels that our daughter LOVES to play with. Both very cute stories (and I highly recommend). This Christmas edition is really disappointing and strays from the path that I think Little Blue Truck runs.

First off, the book itself is a flimsy quality. While it is technically "hard cover", the pages aren't well suited for our 12 month old. We stick to board books and thought this would fit in the same category as the other Little Blue Trucks. I wish this were advertised as a regular book or had something in the description so parents knew it wasn't like the others.

Second, the story isn't as much fun. Sure counting trees is great, but we can count anything on the pages without the story simply revolving around counting. It kind of feels like the publishing company said "just get something Christmas related out there - it'll sell great". Doesn't have the same uniqueness and special touch that the others have.

Third - and this is a big reason for the 1 star - the twinkle lights are INSANELY bright. Hurt my eyes bright. I don't want my child to look at them bright. We ended up shelving the book instead of reading it, and I'm going to rip out the electronics before we reintroduce it next year.

TL;DR: I'm a fan of other little blue truck books, but this one really missed the mark.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dangerous button battery
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2019
Verified Purchase
I love this series of books and own most of them. My kid loves them and this one is great . The problem is it contains a button battery so the last page lights up. There’s a warning on the back that it can cause death within 2 hours if swallowed. So why put this inside a book for toddlers? The story is perfect on its own without adding a deadly component for a cheap thrill. I’m really disappointed in the author of these stories for allowing that to be added. People who make children’s toys and books should start taking more responsibility for these deadly batteries.

1.0 out of 5 stars Painful to the eyes.
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020

My daughter loves the Little Blue Truck books. So I got this for her for Christmas. Of the Little Blue Truck books, I think it’s not the best one. But most importantly, the “twinkle lights” are painfully bright. They hurt your eyes. And they terrify my daughter. Even after I disabled the lights she is scared to open it. And for a while, she was even afraid to open the other Little Blue Truck books. And she’s not wrong. They hurt your eyes!

1.0 out of 5 stars Flashing lights too distracting
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020
Verified Purchase
My 18 month old LOVES books. We read the Little Blue Truck Springtime and Halloween every night. We were excited to get this book, but the flashing lights are too much. He cries if we try to actually read him the book. The pages are also flimsy. Would much prefer another board/lift the flap book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cute for little blue truck lovers
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019
Verified Purchase
This is a larger book than the other cardboard little blue truck books. The pages needed to be glued together better as each page is actually two layers thick and you can stick your hand inside . Kind of weird that way but it’s a sweet story like the other books. My grandson loves this series. I wish they would make a toy truck Togo with it. I’m sure they would sell a lot of them.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT a Board Book, buyer beware
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2021
Verified Purchase
Our 2.5 y/o loves Little Blue Truck books (this was our 5th). It is a thick paperback, not a board book and he ripped a page at rhe binding the first time reading it.

Shame, as he loves these books, but this one was not as advertised and the most expensive one.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT a board book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2021

This is NOT a board book and is falsely advertised as such. The pages are 2 thick pieces of floppy paper glued together in the corners. My toddler ripped several pages within the first minute he had this book. The story is disappointing for this author, and the lights stopped working on day 2.

I purchased this book as NEW. I RECEIVED IT a lil damaged. The book does NOT light up. I went to open the battery case & it is impossible to open. I could NOT give this gift to my Grandsons. I am very very disappointed. I wrote the vendor & never heard a word from that person.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke after 3 reads.
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2020

My son was so excited to receive this in the mail today. We read it 3 times, and his face would literally light up on the last page. The 4th time we read it, the lights stopped working. My son cried. I tried taking the back off fixing the batteries. If I push on them really hard, it sometimes work, but as soon as I screw the back on, they stop working. Very, very disappointed 😢

1.0 out of 5 stars Item arrived with corroded battery
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2021
Verified Purchase
We love the Little Blue Truck series but unfortunately the product didn’t work when it was given to my grandson for an early Christmas present. Discovered that one of the batteries was corroded in the back. How disappointing for a two-year-old and for grandma! (batteries are supposed to be included.)
