Review
As a children's librarian, I have grown quite familiar with and fond of the Little Blue Truck series. With short, rhyming verse, and charming and engaging illustrations, they appear frequently on my reading queue for both baby and toddler story times. At 14 pages, I thought this particular installment was more appropriate for the older end of that age group, though some of the younger babies did enjoy lifting the flaps to see who was hiding underneath. Generally speaking, lift-the-flap style books are fun and engaging for young readers, and can be especially beneficial to children who may lose interest in non-interactive text. This one was no different - it's perfect for independent, 1:1, or story time reading. Great addition to the series!
Overall Book Score: excellent
