Jon Scieszka
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2008
Fantastic book for little ones
This book was excellent. My oldest son (5 years old) read it at school and couldn't stop talking about it. Now that we have it at home he reads it to his little brother all the time! It has great pictures and is wonderful for kids learning to read.

Girls in Trucks
Katie Crouch
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Too much nothing
I heard some nice reviews about this book so I bought the hardcover thinking it was a keeper. Well, it's not. The book goes on and on about a girl who's stuck in a rut. I kept thinking, why doesn't this girl smarten up? It was quite disappointing.

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 ...

I Stink!
Kate Mcmullan
HarperTrophy, 2006
Fantastic gift for toddler-preschool kids
This is a terrific read-aloud for little boys, who will giggle through the "alphabet soup". It's a workout to read out loud, though, because of the zany typography and myriad exclamation points expressing the truck's attitude with a capital A. (This book is the reason ...

At the top of kids firefighter books.
My five year old son loves firefighting books. I am a volunteer firefighter/EMT in NY so my son always has a lot of questions. This book is fine without explanations. My son always has to know, "Is that how you do it Daddy?"
This book stays close to reality with ...
