Fire Truck

Fire Truck
By Peter Sis

Age: 0-2 years; 3-5 years

This book, like Sis's Trucks! Trucks! Trucks!, is fun and imaginative. Perfect for any child who easily gets lost in his/her imaginary world.

Emergency!

Emergency!
By Gail Gibbons

Age: 3-5 years; 5-7 years

As always, Gail Gibbons does a great job in this book about emergency vehicles. This one was less wordy than some of her other books but just as informative. When Joshua first saw this book tucked away on the shelf in his preschool classroom he shouted out "That's the book we have at home!". Doesn't it feel good when you're one teeny, tiny step ahead of the preschool pro's. :)

Trucks

"Trucks"
By Byron Barton

Age: 0-2 years, 3-5 years

This is probably the twelfth time we have checked out this particular Byron Barton book. We love the simple, brightly colored illustrations and the just as simple text. Always a hit for little boys who love vehicles!

Honk Honk! Beep Beep!

"Honk Honk! Beep Beep!"
Words and pictures by Daniel Kirk

Age: 3-5 years

Bright illustrations. Enjoyable. Joshua (4) and Hannah (nearly 3) fought over this book all week...it spent a lot of time on the counter top for that reason. After reading this book a couple of times Joshua started reading the words "honk" and "beep" by sight. I was excited about that! There is a hint of impatience in the tone - we used that as an opportunity to talk about being patient. Overall it's a nice book.
