Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-K—Little Blue Truck and his friend Toad take a drive on a pretty spring day and they encounter an array of animals on their way. The illustrations are done in a folk-art style. Pastel pink and purple colors and the presence of flowers throughout add to the book's cheerful seasonal look. The artwork successfully captures the progression through the addition of animal passengers as the trip develops and a series of flaps that can be lifted to reveal an assortment of hidden baby animals. The narrative has a simple and effective rhyme scheme and pairs with the illustrations seamlessly. VERDICT A great choice for encouraging young children to learn to identify animals and reinforce counting skills. This book is a fun read to celebrate the spring season.—Deanna Smith, formerly at Mamaroneck Public Library, NY

Review

"The cheerful scenes offer plenty of opportunities for animal identification and counting, and a closing scene brings together all the little ones for a festive finale that sees them decked out in floral garlands."-Publishers Weekly, review, 11/24/2017 "A great choice for encouraging young children to learn to identify animals and reinforce counting skills."--School Library Journal, review "A vernal celebration...Beautifully rendered two-page tableaux teem with butterflies, blossoms, and vibrant pastel, springtime colors."--Kirkus —

    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.

My toddler is completely obsessed with the Little Blue Truck series, and this springtime edition is no exception. The flap book format makes it extra interactive — my child loves lifting the flaps to discover all the baby animals hiding underneath and it makes for good practice counting. The pictures are adorable and colorful, perfectly capturing the joy of spring. The rhyming text is simple, gentle, and engaging — great for younger kids, and easy to read aloud (again and again… and again!). It’s also the perfect non-candy Easter gift that still feels festive and fun. If you’re looking for a sweet, sturdy board book to celebrate the season with your little one, Little Blue Truck never disappoints!

    I just got this book and I love it! Can’t wait to read it to my baby Granddaughter tomorrow. I babysit on Fridays and we do several sessions of books and songs through out the day. A favorite has been The Little Blue Truck with it’s bright colors, animal pictures and G’ma making animal sounds. I was so excited to see last week that there are more books. I got this one and excited to see lifting flap to reveal mommy and baby animals. I know this will be a hit with the baby and my daughter in law.

    I ordered this book for my son’s first birthday, which happens to fall on Easter this year - perfect read for this occasion! This book is such a simple yet adorable read! I anticipate my son will love it as much as I do! The illustrations are beautiful, and I especially love the large flaps. I can’t wait to add the rest of these books to the collection as my son grows.
