A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Pug in a Truck

"Kid-friendly narrative. [Coffelt's] bright pictures, in oil pastels, offer attractive simple shapes and text spotlighted in color." —Kirkus

All Aboard the Dinotrain

"The rollicking, rhyming text is great for reading aloud. Fine's playful, colorful dinosaurs are remarkably expressive and full of child appeal. . . . And with such subject matter as dinosaurs and trains who could go too far wrong?" —School Library Journal

Farmer Dale's Red Pickup Truck

"Plenty of wordplay and a rollicking rhythm turn a predictable plot into a practically perfect read-aloud."  —Kirkus   

Monster Trucks!

"In this crowd-pleasing portrait gallery, 14 burly, rugged, cartoon trucks pose against monochromatic, minimally detailed backgrounds, accompanied by equally muscular captions . . . Roar on!" —Kirkus Reviews

Sheep in a Jeep

"The bright-colored pencil drawings and lean text make this a great choice for preschool storytimes, as well as for beginning readers who want a funny story." —School Library Journal

Rush Hour

"Loaded with details for kids to pore over, the pictures, which often cleverly overlap on the page, catch the colorful energy of urban- and suburbanites on the move. . . . A loving, comforting book for grownups to share with their children." —Booklist, ALA

Here Comes Darrell

"Kids fascinated by equipment will appreciate the pictures of the plows and earth movers Darrell uses. . . . Azarian’s woodcuts are pleasing as always." —Booklist Booklist, ALA

Monsters on Machines

"Lund’s rhyming story, about a team of ghoulish monsters who ride bulldozers and cranes, has just about everything a child could hope for, from fantastical characters to vehicles, from muck and mud to screams and shouts to ‘monsteroni and cheese.’" —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Katy and the Big Snow

"Bright, vigorous pictures with plenty of action and endless detail portray Katy at work for the Highway Department of the city of Geoppolis." Horn Book Little Blue Truck Leads the Way "The small truck's triumph will be welcome fuel for many preschooler's imaginative play." —Booklist
