Twenty Big Trucks in the Middle of the Street

My 2 year old and I love this book. We borrowed it twice from the library, read it dozens of times, and still couldn’t get enough.

I purchased this book for my 16 month old grandson for Christmas. He is obsessed with trucks of all kinds. This is a beautifully illustrated book about an ice- cream truck that breaks down and this causes a traffic jam of trucks of all kinds. The ensuing chaos is comical and gives children the opportunity to problem solve.. How can this mess be fixed? Children love the rhyming text and the large and vivid truck illustrations. It is an added bonus for children that the little boy on the bike figures out how to solve the problem. My grandson asks my daughter to read this to him more than several times a day. I highly recommend this wonderful book.

He leído tantas veces este libro a mí hijo que me lo sé de carrerilla. Se lo compramos con dos años porque le fascinan los camiones y fue mucho tiempo su favorito y lo leíamos todas las noches. Ahora tiene tres años y medio y se ha cansado un poco pero todavía lo leemos de vez en cuando.Trata sobre un atasco de camiones y un niño que lo observa todo lo va contando. Las rimas a veces un pelín forzadas pero está bien y los dibujos también.

My 14 month old son LOVES this book. Perfect for any toddlers who are obsessed with vehicles!

My kids love this book! We purchased it in 2014 when they were 3 & 1. Two years later & they still enjoy it and ask for it often! The story rhymes and keeps young children hooked on what will happen next. The illustrations are fun because there's a diverse set of characters who gather to see the pileup of trucks. Since we babywear, my kids were excited to see that represented in the group, albeit with a puppy in the carrier. I laughed at the illustration of someone taking a photo of the scene with their cell phone, because that's totally me. Their favorite part (see my 5yos attached illustrated review!) is when the crane truck saves the day and lifts the ice cream truck into the sky. My kids have this book and the order the trucks get stuck memorized we read it so much. Highly recommended for any little truck lovers in your life!
