Book Reviews of Cars and Trucks and Things That Go (Giant Little Golden Book)

Book Review: I have as much fun with this as the kids do
Summary: 5 Stars

This has always been a favorite among the young set. We had one of these when our kids were young. Besides the learning aspect even toddlers can have fun searching for the "Gold Bug" This jolly little fella is somewhere on every page. This is not only a hit with kids but also adults after finding our old copy we had three adults huddled around the book trying to find the "Gold Bug". I recently orderd two new books (the original is a bit tattered from years of use). My grown adult children have each requested one of these as a Christmas gift and they do not even have children of there own! Great Book!!

Summary of Cars and Trucks and Things That Go (Giant Little Golden Book)

The Pig family takes a road trip to the beach for a picnic. The road is packed with hundreds of cars and trucks, vans and motorcycles, tractors and buses. The Pigs find chaos and adventure on the way to the beach and the opportunity to see vehicles they have never seen before. It's an exciting day!
Although this book was around when many of today's parents were youngsters, it has remained a steadfast must-have in every toddler's library. For starters, it's a great vocabulary guide that names the many things that go (and some that haven't a prayer of going, but are great fun to imagine anyway). It's also teeming with detail-rich scenes and characters on every page, teaching children the rewards of looking long and closely (such as finding the hidden "Goldbug" in each spread). Along the way it entertains with the silly and slapstick--everything from toothpaste and toothbrush cars to six fire department vehicles that show up to extinguish a ladybug-size fire in a miniature pink convertible. What's most amazing about this book, however, is its longevity. When you purchase it for your fledgling talker, you should consider it an investment. Even 11-, 12-, and 13-year-olds are known to pore over the book nostalgically, cooing at Lowly Worm and eagerly tracking Officer Flossie's book-long chase after that irresponsible, speedster driver in a cowboy hat. (Ages 2 and older) --Gail Hudson
