Girls like it too
Guess what? My 17 month old daughter loves Start Your Engines as much as the boys do. She has something that she does for each page (i.e. when "five foxes test the shocks" she bounces up and down; and when "four flamingoes fix a flat" she says "UH OH!!"). It's a great book with which to interact.

One for the boys
My young nephews love - love! - this book. It reminds me of the Richard Scarry books that I was into as a kid. This is a numbers book--perhaps Mark Todd will do a storybook next time. After all, his audience are getting older every day!

Awesome
This book rocks! The illustration is wonderful. Super fun to read, and easy for kids of all ages to relate to.You can look at the pictures over and over and still see something new each time. Its the kind of book you want to keep for your whole life, and look back to fondly when you're an adult. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

A Numeric Rainbow
Mark Todd once again delivers a wonderfully colorful book. He makes counting down exciting with a plethora of lively pictures. A good buy for anyone learning to count or who likes numbers.

A colorful way for children to learn to count!
I teach a kindergarten class, and keeping children interested in learning numbers is not easy. This book, given to me by a friend, made the children (especially the boys) sit up and pay attention. Some of the mothers would like copies too! I recommend this book, not only as a teaching tool, but because it is beautifully and colorfully illustrated! ... Read more

Fun Reading
Every day before napping and bedtime, my 18-month old son always picks this book for us to read together. As we read through each page, he loves to point out all of the characters and what each is doing. This is an excellent companion to the Little People Fire Truck and helps explain to small children what a fire truck is for and what firefighters do. Another reading favorite is (Fisher Price) Bob's Bob's Shiny Dump Truck. ... Read more

Great for little ones who love cars and trucks...
Great for the price and at face value. It's a not prize winning children's book, but it's simple and points out the particulars of different vehicles. I only wish the binding was sturdier and board quality better, but for under ($$$), I'd gladly purchase a second. ... Read more

Great truck book
This is a great truck book for those who can't get enough trucks. It contains a rhyming enumeration of a huge number of trucks that you might see on the road. The pictures are quite detailed, and show some rather interesting drivers. This book is not at all scary- -it makes a great bedtime book. It has about 250 words. ... Read more
