Little Blue Truck's Christmas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another of our Christmas advent books this year, this is a jumbo print board book. The reason becomes obvious when you reach the back page - where the Christmas tree literally lights up. Overall, the story is simple and cute. There's actually a big emphasis on counting you can capitalize on with small children as the trees are picked up and then delivered one by one. The book itself feels very sturdy, which is great for little hands.

Little Blue Truck's Halloween
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The kids love the original Little Blue Truck, so of course they asked for the holiday editions. Didn't expect it to be so big, especially since our original story is in a traditional board book size. Still, it is sturdy and feels durable, which is great for small children. Even the lift flaps (something else I didn't anticipate) feel thick and sturdy. Each spread finds a new animal in costume and lifting the flap reveals which animal and their sound as they travel through the farm. Of course the ultimate costume for the Halloween party is the Little Blue Truck. Cute and simple book for children.

Little Blue Truck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a darling little book that easily emphasizes the importance of being polite and kind to your friends. Certainly doesn't hurt any when you need those same friends to bail you out of a sticky situation down the road. The little truck is even kind enough to help out the rude loner truck in the process. Bonus if you have a child that likes trucks or cars; this would be an easy winner.
