Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

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

From the Back Cover

This book is about objects with wheels that can roll.

This is our second copy because my kids loved it so much the first one was falling apart from so much use. The pages are a nice thickness and they love that it is oversized because two can look at one time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best kid’s book EVER!
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024
Verified Purchase
We have shared this book with children, nephews, and now grandchildren and grandnieces. The primary story of the pig family going on a picnic is appealing. But finding goldbug on every double page is perfect for adult/ child interactions. Officer flossy chasing Dingo dog, the very bad driver, adds both a story line and something else to search out on most pages. But the best thing of all is all of the vehicles. We often don’t get through the book because we are talking about the carrot car or the pickle car. ( what do you think…which would you prefer?). Goes through a very large age range depending on what is being explored.

I got this for my 2 year old nephew who’s into trucks right now, on recommendation from a friend. It’s true that the detail and amount of content on one page has made this book a go-to repeated for many weeks now. My nephew loves it and car stare at a page for minutes which is not like him.

Got this for our car-lover and he loves it. Since he can’t read yet, he needs help but It’s entertaining for grown-ups too (which is helpful when you have to read one book multiple times). Finding the gold bug in each page is really fun too.

I bought this over a year ago and I still have to read it every day! Luckily there is so much to discover and as his little mind expands we keep finding new details to talk about. It used to be just seeing a train, now we look for specific types of tractors with wheels or tracks!

Adatto anche per bambini che non sanno ancora leggere, le illustrazioni di Scarry sono ricche di particolari e i piccoli lettori non si annoiano mai.
Consigliato soprattutto per maschi dato il tema dei mezzi di trasporto particolarmente apprezzato. Scarry sempre consigliato
