My Truck is Stuck!

2008-09-19
This is one of the Grandson's favorites. By the same author: Chugga Chugga Choo Choo.

Slight Disappointment

2008-09-11
I had high expectations for this book based on other reviews and was disappointed. The "simple rhymes" were a bit awkward to read and not particularly funny. My 3 1/2 year old son (who loves trucks) enjoyed the pictures but quickly lost interest after only a few reads. In my opinion, this book is not in the same league as "Duck in the Truck."

Great book, fun too read to your kids

While my girls, ages 2 and 3, don't request this book as much as Chugga Chugga Choo Choo, by the same author, they do enjoy reading it.

The lively rhymes in the book tell the story of a dump truck that is stuck in the road, and the passersby who try to help the truck get out of the hole. In the meantime, some sneaky gophers are emptying the load out of the back of the dump truck.

As an elementary education major, I am impressed with the repetitive phrasing that gives my girls a chance to "read" along, and even to "read" the book to each other. Although my girls don't yet have the higher level thinking skills to enable them to see some of the humor that is shown in the pictures (a constant stream of gophers removing bones from the dump truck, the driver's assistant busy at the pay phone calling a tow truck while the driver flags down vehicle after vehicle in a frantic attempt to get his truck out of the pot hole), they enjoy hearing the story.

The illustrations are brightly colored and have many details, allowing my girls to discover something new each time we read the book.

I recommend this book, and I recommend this author.

Very cute, fun to read.

My daughter was a little bit afraid of big trucks, I though this book would help a little bit, and it did. It is a cute story, I don't know that it is worded the best that it could be, but the illustrations are cute and overall it is a good book!

Grandson loves it

My almost 3 yr old grandson loves this book. We have read it many times. He knows most of it by heart. Often he will say "Round and round, the wheels they roll. Round and round into a hole!" This is the start of a game with his Pappy. Pappy will then say the beginning of another line from the book such as "No need to panic!" and our grandson will reply back with "Here come a tow truck with a mechanic." Geat fun!

It's OK - not as good as Chugga Chugga Choo Choo

When a dump truck "haulin' a great big load" gets stuck in the mud, progressively larger vehicles try to pull it out.

Great book!

This is a great book. My son loves the truck and all the helpful vehicles that come along. I also love the artwork!

For Toddler Truck Lovers

We originally found this book at a little girlfriend's home and my son absolutely loved it. Bought it for him last Christmas, and he still loves it. Great book. Very smartly written and a lot of fun! Buy it if your little one (boy or girl) loves trucks and/or animals!

excellent!

This book is great! The artwork is really nice, simple and colorful. Great rhyming. My son (2) even learned the word "help" from this book, (finally he asks for help instead of just whining, it was worth every penny just for that sanity). I really like that there is a Jeep in the book because we drive one. It's nice that this book has visual appeal for adults because you will have to read it over and over and over again.

Great Book, really fun!

This is a very good book and highly recommend it. It is funny and the story is very cute. The story "sneaks in" counting.
I am looking forward to purchasing and sharing more Kevin Lewis books with my 18 month old son.
