Tonka: If I Could Drive a Dump Truck!

Tonka: If I Could Drive a Dump Truck!
By Michael Teitelbaum

Customer Reviews

Be warned, it's a soft cover, and it's small...
I bought this to give to my nephew with the matching Tonka truck. I probably wouldn't have had I taken full note of the book's dimensions and the fact that it is NOT a board book, nor a hard-cover. It actually got lost in the packaging and for a moment, I thought it might have missed the shipment!

It might be nice to read aloud to your toddler (the images are nice) but you won't want to leave your tot alone with it as the book will become damaged quickly.

My Son Loves It
Even though we have a lot of classic toddler books, this is one of my son's favorites. He is almost 2, he has gone from just liking to see the dump truck on every page, to listening to the story.

Great book that will grow with child
Very nice book. I gave it with the Dump Truck.

Product Description

The Truck Book (Pictureback(R))

The Truck Book (Pictureback(R))
By Harry Mcnaught

Customer Reviews

This one started it all...
This is the book that got my son fascinated with trucks! His day care center has this book and his teachers told me one day that they LOVE my son; because while all the other kids are running around screaming, my son is sitting in the middle of the floor "reading" this book. Needless to say, I had to go out and get it myself, hoping it'd allow me some time to get things done around the house! My son really does love this book. He reads it every day when we get home from day care, and at 18 months old, he still hasn't torn any of the pages because he is SO careful with it. He doesn't want any damage to come to this favorite book of his!

We read this four or five times each day
When my now 8-year-old son was about a year old, this was his favorite book. We read it endlessly, to the point that I would hide it in his bookshelf in hopes that we could read something else. But, he would patiently search through his books until he found it -- "The Truck Book." At some point, he totally lost interest in this book and in vehicles, but I've kept the book all these years because I have such fond memories of reading it together. Plus, I have it memorized!

Devon Reads this Truck Book a Lot
My son Devon loves this Truck Book. He's two months shy of three, already knows his numbers, his letters and can recognize certain words, probably because Sara and I don't have a television and we read him books like this every night. He's really into trucks, trucks of all sizes, but especially yellow ones. The big dump truck with the giant tires on the cover of this book fascinates him. He likes to pretend he's the driver and I'm the guy in the yellow jeep waving up to him. He just pours over this book, ogling the old timey trucks, like the Wienermobile and the milk truck shaped like a bottle of milk. He likes the car carrier, the cranes and the forklifts. He's just a truck loving child and that's okay by us, because it's got his nose in books and that's the best place for it to be.

Customer Reviews

A Classic!
Who doesn't love Mr. Potato Head???? Be careful though, Mr. Potato Head has been known to cause the following side-effect:
The use of Mr. Potato head may result in way too many giggles along with a feeling a pure entertainment, enjoyment and FUN!

Classic toy continues to entertain
I recently bought this toy for my two year old daughters. They love it!!! It took them a little while to figure out how it worked, but as soon as they did, they started playing with it all the time. They can entertain themselves for quite awhile. It was a very good value.

Thank you Mr. Potato Head!
Mr. Potato Head just potty trained my 3 year old! After much discussion with her about using the potty, we finally found the trick for her! Each time she went she got to put a piece on her new Mr. Potato head and by the time she was half done with the pieces she was potty trained. I doubt Mr. Potato Head has had such a heroic review.
