Summary: fun lift-the-flap book with some flap issues
Comment: My son loves this book, and what's not to love! There are five large two-page spreads, each featuring a different kind of truck (moving van, fire engine, recycle truck, pickup in a farm setting, and dump trucks at a construction site). Each has about ten flaps to lift. Furthermore, the flaps are a cut above the usual, sometimes showing the same person in a different activity or the same object in a different pose (e.g. the fire engine ladder folded in the original but extended when the flap is lifted), and sometimes accompanied by explanatory text ("The rescue boom is a tall ladder that can reach five or six stories high. It can turn in every direction."). The pictures are filled with activity and there are enough flaps so that each time you and your child will find something new and interesting to look at.
I would give this book five stars if there weren't problems with the flaps. They are perforated but not already separated, and are difficult for a child to open initially. An adult should go through the book first and open them. Also, the flaps are thin cardboard and will tear easily if your child is so inclined.
Rating: 1
Summary: flaps not easy to initially open, too few pages.
Comment: It was difficult to get the flaps open on all of the pieces without damaging them. We had to use a butter knife to initially open them, and then they did not hinge well. A few got ripped even when opening them with care because the perforations were not complete. Also, there are only 5 pages to this book (moving, fire, recycling, farm and dump trucks). It's not quite worth it considering the quality of the book's manufacture.
Rating: 5
Summary: My son can't put it down
Comment: We just received this book today from Amazon and I have already read it with my 20 month old son more than ten times. He loves trucks and this book has all the favorites - big moving truck, dump truck, tractor - you get the picture. There is even a recycling truck where you can open the different compartments to see plastic, metal, etc. What I really like about this book is that it will grow with him because although he is interested in opening the flaps to find things he recognizes, there are interesting descriptions on each page to read that he will enjoy more when he is older.
