Blue Boat (Red Truck and Friends)

Great for the preschool class

This book was in one of our first Amazon book box subscriptions. I'd never seen it, and initially wasn't too thrilled with it.After awhile it grew on me. There is pretty good rhythm to the text, and it lends itself to some dramatic reading (Mayday! Mayday! and Splashing Crashing Mighty Waves!). Our little girl tends to rock/dance along as I read.I like that the ship's captain is female.(A few issues...having lived near Long Island Sound, if a Nor'easter is coming, there's no way a family with a couple of kids would set out in a sailboat, or that the boats shown in the book would go out to rescue it.Second, the family (2 adults and 2 children) don't appear to be wearing life jackets, and the kids and the dog are just hanging out at the edge of the deck. I'm willing to ignore these, as it's a cute book.)The illustrations are relatively simple, and appeal to our toddler. I haven't yet tired of reading it (at least a couple of times a day for the past four months).

Can't wait to see what she relates next maybe Purple Plane, Pink Racer--we need more great series!

Our 16 month old won Red Truck at the library during a summer reading program and it quickly became his favorite book. Naturally we wanted to expand his collection and purchased Blue Boat and Yellow Copter. He enjoys finding the Seagulls on each page that follow the boat. The amount of words on each page is perfect to keep a toddler's attention and will be less intimidating for a new reader when he gets there.

Red Truck was the first book in the series we bought and all three of my boys have LOVED it. This one is good, but not as much of a favorite. The plot is a bit weak and the rhymes aren't as well written. They don't stick in your head as well.

2 year old loves it. Nice rhythm, cute illustrations, she can yell along for blue boat to be the hero of the day! Got it as part of an Amazon box and again, something I never would have picked or found, but really enjoyed by both me and the kiddo.

Trouble is brewing, but Blue Boat will save the day! When a quick nor’ easter comes up and threatens a sailboat and its crew, only one boat is rough enough and tough enough to do the job.My grandson loves this charming, action-packed story. And he especially loves Blue Boat. Highly recommended, along with the companion books Yellow Copter and Red Truck.

Red Truck and Blue Boat are favorites among the adults and toddlers in my life. I enjoy the story, illustrations, and rhyming scheme and so does my 2 year old audience.

My son loves this book along with the other two, Yellow Copter and Red Truck

It's a book which is not mention on it and costly too.

I thought it was “New” but it was used.Still in good condition but I might have misread the product details.

The 4 year old loved it! Not quite as good as Red Truck, but still enjoyable. Simplistic story and charming illustrations!

My son loves this book. I have the paper copy and wanted a board copy as he is destroying the pages. Was highly disappointed when I received the board book as his favorite page is not in the board book: "Seas are rough! Is Blue Boat rougher? Wind is tough! Is Blue Boat tougher?" "Help us, Blue Boat! Don't give up!". Not sure why this page is not included in the board book but my son is isn't too happy about it. This book would receive 5 stars if it weren't for this.
