Boxy but Good

Nice images and colorful, easy to follow pictures and story lines even for someone who has no memory like myself. I don't know about the first comment, about liking to "watch" the street sweeper. In New York City, it's more about getting out of the way of them! Patrick Moore, not to be confused with that other Patrick Moore, has incorporated squirrels and life into an otherwise mundane subject. Children who enjoy a big, loud, snorting vehicle in real life, will truly enjoy Mr. Moore's bringing them down to size and into their livingrooms. Nice illustrations. A new classic. Next time I hope to see more monkey based story lines.

Cute

For Health we are looking at the people who help out in a community. This book gives information on street sweepers as it compares to other trucks. It is a cute book that uses cartoon pictures with simple text. I would recommend it for grades PS - 1st.

Hail to a wonderful new talent!

When the current crop of picture books seems dominated by celebrity authors along comes a real star! Moore's pictures are funny and sly and you and your children will have fun spotting the clever ways in which they reveal a very simple story. This is a must for squirrel lovers, construction vehicle admirers and most of all, the many people between 2 and 100 who just love to watch that mighty street sweeper that visits their own neighborhood.

love this book!

This is a really adorable book. The drawings in particular are very alive and happy and the story was very entertaining. I'm a pretty picky kid's book reader-- so many of them are bland and predictable, but this one's got heart and soul!

Despite its size, the street sweeper has one mighty job! The street sweeper is a little truck with a very big job. While it is not the largest, fastest, or most powerful truck, a street sweeper does something that no other truck can do: it keeps our streets clean. And a street sweeper is so much fun to watch.
Colorful illustrations and an engaging compare-and-contrast text make this picture book a delight for budding truck-lovers.
