It's My Life!: I have been reading this book for my daughter since she was 2 weeks old (Yes!!, 2 weeks old ;)) and now at 2.3 years, she still LOVES IT!!!! I always got a giggle out of her as baby when I made OINK OINK 🐷 piggy sounds and now she can actually tell the entire story!!! It's fun to read as a parent with all the sound effects we get to make n It's awesome fun for the children to hear it as well. Plus, I think it teaches kids about animals n the sounds they make (they pick it up n learn to associate automatically) we don't have to teach them mechanically- Hey kid! time to learn animals n their sounds, ala the way I was thaught as a kindergarten!
I fully recommend this book for your child!

Also, I would like to add that I received the product before the expected delivery date and it was in excellent condition!

Mum's opinion: I first got this book for my son when he was about 15 months old and he did not have the patience for me to read through so many sentences of the book.

My son turned out to be a big fan of vehicles and I decided to try this book again when he was about 30 months old. This time the book instantly hit a cord with him. His eyes shine up the moment I turn the page and dump truck appears and he shouts histerically 'HONK'. He loves how the BIG dump truck comes through and has big important things to do. My son and me speak each sentence with heavy voice to give that air of importance to the dump truck.

Then when the important truck gets stuck, my toddler says 'Oh Oh, the truck is stuck- what can we do now'. He loves how LITTLE blue truck comes to help the BIG dump truck and how everybody hears little blue's BEEP BEEP BEEP. He loves repeating 'A lot depends on a helping hand from a few good friends'.

In fact in these two months, he had made me read the book zillions of times and now he knows each sentence by heart. So many times, I have seen him reciting the entire book to himself like a poem and jumping with euphoria. Even when we go for a walk he pretends to be...

Ashley: Still a favourite after months and months! My now 23 month old is obsessed with this book, I can read it to him 2-3 times in a row and he will sit and be fully attentive the entire time. I love it too !

Jessie K: And my son likes it a lot too lol. The pictures are artfully done, the rhyming, rhythm & flow all work together to make it an easy read, the moral of the story is great and I like that the book itself has character (ex: "...big important wheels got stuck.")

I only bought it because a lot of people in a toddler group I'm in had recommended it (I wasn't familiar with it before I ordered it), but I'm really glad that I took their suggestion because this is one of the few books by son has that I don't mind reading multiple times a day.

Ashley Thompson: Love the age-appropriate story to teach the importance of helping others. Fun rhyme - easy to follow story. Also loved the pictures - lots of colour and detail. Rare find to get all these qualities in a "board" book. Would highly recommend!!! 10/10

Captain Canuck: My daughter has a speech delay so we're trying to find more ways to prompt her to vocalize her words. This book was recommended by speech therapists since there are several repeatable words that urge children to speak. Beep is the main word, but lots of animal sounds like Moo, Cluck, Neigh, Croak, Baa, and the dump truck's Honk. This was the first time I've heard my daughter say "Honk" after just a few days of reading this book to her. Now she knows how to say all the words, and it's become a practice exercise for us. She giggles after she says the words because my face lights up hearing her seldom heard voice.

The story itself is fun and shares the lesson of being courteous and friendly because you never know when you'll need help from friends.

EConnorEConnor: I can not say enough good things about this book and artist. The narrative is told in a rhythm of rhymes bringing the reader through a rural area learning about kindness. The Little Blue Truck teaches children about the importance of being kind and how one act of kindness can cause a rippling effect among those around you. We love to talk about the animals and their sounds as we look at the beautiful illustrations which light up every page of this book. There are pages that I just am amazed by the paintings and how lively they are. My child enjoys hearing me read this story often and I do too. Great message. The book is made with a thick cardboard making it difficult to bend or be ruined by young children learning about books for the first time. It's a great size too. We like to throw it in the back pack or in our over night bag when going out of town.
