In this charming little book, we learn about all the important and hardworking vehicles that move around our cities and towns, helping us in many ways, always getting their jobs done no matter what the season is. The fire truck puts out fires, the tow truck rescues cars... and the garbage truck, well, he just collects the trash.But, who will help them all when a terrible blizzard storms in and the whole city has to come to a complete standstill??? SUPERTRUCK to the rescue!!!All the trucks, big and small, are stuck and cannot complete their jobs. But Supertruck puts on his plow and digs the whole city out! The other trucks are so grateful... and wonder, who is this marvelous vehicle?First of all, the cuteness starts with brightly colored and captivating illustrations. Each page is filled to the brim with minimalist drawings and colors, giving each vehicle its most known quality shape and color to stand out and easily be identifiable.Second, the simple storyline is quite engaging. After the first few reads, my one year old scramble off to go find his trucks - not only did we match most of them to the pictures in the book, but we also played and made sure to give Supertruck time to cover his identity, just like Superman. I adore books that encourage my kids to get up and play while reading it!And lastly, who doesn't love a good superhero!!!A sweet book for the little superhero/comic book lover in your family!*An ARC copy was sent to me from the publisher for an honest review. All thoughts are my own.
An okay book with nice illustrations, and my son liked it, but it seems like a simplified version of the much better Virginia Lee Burton book, Katie and the Big Snow. I would recommend that book over this one, any day.
Our grandson (age 2) absolutely loves this book. He wants it read over and over. He's very into trucks, and this simple story of the garbage truck which turns into Super Truck really engages him. Super Truck comes to the rescue during a snow storm - very appropriate for this winter season! I enjoy all the great illustrations which help tell the tale.
The story touches on two genres that appeal to young boys: trucks and superheros. In the city there are many brave trucks, ones that fix power lines, or put out fires or tow disabled vehicles, but when a blizzard hits the city, it is a lowly garbage truck that saves the day. The glasses wearing tow truck sneaks into a garage and emerges as SUPERTRUCK! He digs out the entire city; freeing the bucket truck, the fire engine and the tow truck along the way. Where is the truck that saved the city? Just collecting the trash as he does every day.This is a great book for early readers: the pictures help tell part of the story, the font is large and easy to read, there are just a few words on a page and the words are well spaced.
Our 2.5 year old loves this book. He asks for the book by name. Now we can yell "Supertruck!" when we see one while we are driving around too. It is a great story of the unsung heroes all around us that keep civilization working during emergencies.
My 5-year old adores this super book about trucks! He's learning to read and this simple story gives him confidence in his early reading skills. Striking graphics coupled with a charming story about a superhero garbage-truck-turned- snowplow is perfect for babies through early readers! Highly recommend.
I was really disappointed. There's not much to it - especially compared to the others I ordered. I would return it, but I discarded the package it came in & have nothing suitable.Georgia Hildreth
My two year old nephew absolutely loves this book. He picked it out himself from the book store and has been reading it over and over. He even went to sleep with "Supe Truck" last night.
