Editorial Reviews
"The children demand anthropomorphic vehicles. And among them, none is as adorable as the vintage blue pick-up in the Little Blue Truck series.... [T]he only thing that would make these books cuter is if the truck only ever spoke in 'beeps'-and he does!" -The A.V. Club
"McElmurry's richly rendered scenes and the animals' elegant costumes conjure up a sense of nostalgia that befits Little Blue Truck's own vintage looks." -Publishers Weekly
"Lovely curvy shapes and autumn colors fade to dusky blues as night falls, and children are sure to notice the traditional elements of a Halloween party: apple bobbing, lit jack-o'-lanterns, and punch and treats. Beloved Little Blue takes a bit of the mystery-and fear-out of Halloween costumes." -Kirkus

My Grandson loves the Little Blue Truck books. I got this one for next Halloween. They have cute stories and nice artwork. He really interacts with them, especially loving to say Beep Beep. There are lots of animals and other things to point out. We probably got his first one when he was 16-18 months old and they will be great right up until he starts reading.

My 2 year old and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!!! We got it yesterday and read it right away. Then, again last night before bed. It is very close to as good as the first book. The first book is still my favorite book; however, this book is a VERY close second! My son loves lifting the flaps to see who's behind the costumes. He's the official flap lifter and page turner. :) In my opinion, the other books in this collection aren't good at all. My son only likes the Christmas book, because the tree lights up at the end. I'm so glad the author went back to the great things we love about the first book. Love this book! I'm looking forward to reading it again today with my son.

I purchased this book for my home daycare. A few of the children have it at home already and told me when they saw it. This didn't stop them wanting to hear it read to them a few times. The text is fairly simple, which is great for me because I run a Spanish Immersion preschool and sometimes we want to be able to "read' the books in Spanish. The children really like books with flaps to lift up, which was another reason I chose this book.

Love almost all of the Blue Truck books! (Least favorite is the one that takes place in the city) I would say this one next to the original is our favorite! I love how each animal is in disguise and then you open the flap to see who it really is. It has a very cute ending. The illustrations are great! It will remain such a wonderful holiday moment as I bought this book for our 2 year old son and read it to him just before Halloween. His 6 month sister enjoyed the rhyming in the book as well.

My 2 year old is obsessed with Halloween all of a sudden (even though it’s springtime..) and since he loves his other Little Blue Truck books we got this one. It is so cute! He loves it and I love reading it with him! I didn’t realize when I ordered it that it was a lift the flap book, even better! Highly recommend for the simple fun story line and cute illustrations. We almost have the entire Little Blue Truck set and am sure we will soon! If your little babe loves trucks and animals, this series is for you!
