Cartwheel Books, 1997
Little Green Tow Truck
We have the 4 -7 year old version and our grandchildren love it. It's a bit too fragile for the young kids so we are ordering a replacement because they use it so much.

I Can Do It Too! 4 reviews
Karen Baicker
Handprint Books, 2003
A wonderful book for a toddler
A very simple but age-appropriate story for a two-year-old: in a series of incidents, the toddler narrator observes something that father or mother or uncle or older neighbor can do, and then asserts "I can do it too!" The lively and brightly colored illustrations confirm that she can, though not always in the same way. A great book to share with a child who wants to do things him or herself. ...

Big Silver Space Shuttle3 reviews

Big hit with 3-year old
Our son adores this book. He knows it by heart and wants to read it again and again. The moving "pop-up" parts are manageable for someone with typical 3-year old fine motor skills.

Two year old loves this!
My two year old son absolutely adores this book! We first checked it out at the library and knew that it was one we'd have to buy after he started quoting it ("Uptown, downtown people know...Red light stop, green light go!"). It is a very fun book for parents to read (I never get tired of it, thank goodness) and is one of my son's all time favorite books. The pictures are bright and clever and we ...

Flush The Potty 4 reviews
Cartwheel, 2000
Great Book For Potty Training!
If you are potty training this is a great book to have on hand. My son loved to push the button and listen to the toilet flush as he sat on his potty chair. Of all the potty training books I bought or got from the library this was my son's favorite.

A lift-the-flap book featuring a traffic jam of big rigs
One hundred and one trucks are on the move in this lift-the-flap book featuring a traffic jam of big rigs filled with 101 movie-making props, costumes and other tools of the film trade. "Gigantic cranes, a stunt-performing plane, windows and drapes, boots and capes, a variety of trees, performing fleas..." The list goes on and on as tots peek inside 101 trucks carrying rhyming loads on five ...

Kwanzaa Kids (Lift-the-Flap, Puffin)1 review
Joan Holub
Puffin, 2002
Adorable book
This is a great book for pre-K or kindergarten kids. It explains Kwanzaa in simple language with rhymes that make it fun. The large shapes and bright intense colors appeal to kids this age. And the flaps are big, easy for little hands to grasp, and not easily torn. This is a book that was needed, so I'm glad to find it.

Fun Hands-on reading!
Children learn best by doing and doing is what they get to do in this book. With the turn of each page the children anxioulsy await what task they will do next. My 5 year old loves filling the tank, driving it along the road, and running it through the car wash.

Great!
My sons (ages 3 & 7) love this book. They read/play with it so much, they wore it out. The moving parts on each page really keep their interest. It's lots of fun.

Max's Letter (Wilson-Max, Ken. Max Play Book.)2 reviews
Ken Wilson-max
Jump At The Sun, 1999
An excellent book for many ages
Our 15 month old son loves this book. He especially enjoys taking the letter out of the envelope and "reading" the letter to himself. He also enjoys watching me push the letter through all of the different slots. I believe this book will interest him through his pre-school years as he learns more about our mail system and as he becomes more skilled with his fingers and can push the letter ...

Max's Money (Wilson-Max, Ken. Max Play Book.)2 reviews
Ken Wilson-max
Jump At The Sun, 1999
Terrific Hands On Book!
I bought this book for my twin niece and nephew for Christmas. They had it worn out in a month! The concept of the book is to show young children how money "travels". An example from the book shows money leaving the purse and going into the gumball machine. The book actually comes with hard cardboard "money" that can be inserted into slots on one page and retreived on the next. My nephew ...

K Is for Kwanzaa: A Kwanzaa Alphabet Book2 reviews
Juwanda G. Ford
Scholastic, 1997
K is for Kwanzaa--Great Book
Ford managed to teach about the Kwanzaa in an interesting way to children, and was not stereotypical. This is a great book to teach cultural diversity in the classroom, because it does not belittle any race or culture. Read it, and you'll see!!

Love The Artwork
My grandson loves to paint and this book give him the simplistic pictures to imitate on his canvas. It is beautifully illustrated with all of the colors of the rainbow simply used. It's also a great read with a cool message. We love it.

My daughter loves it. Not just for boys.
I am writing in response to the reviewer who said that the book is especially great for boys. (let's not gender-type!) This is our daughter's favorite book. She is 13 1/2 months now and it has been her absolute favorite since we started reading it to her when she was just a few months old and we just ordered a second copy because hers is so tattered from use. Highly recommended for girls as well! ...

The Baby Goes Beep7 reviews
Rebecca O'Connell
Roaring Brook Press, 2003
Just perfect for babies and toddlers
The Baby Goes Beep is one of my son's favorites. He's 16 months old and loves the bouncy, rhyming text and sunshine-bright illustrations. Best of all, he loves to give the book a kiss when we get to the "baby goes smooch" page spread. This book is an excellent choice for babies and toddlers. As a side note, this book was a Charlotte Zolotow honor book for 2004 -- the award given for the best ...
