8/13/2023 - A cute story about a parent truck and a young truck. I d the simple illustrations since that’s a lot how a child would draw.2023 read-with-madison2 s Peacegal10.8k 108

I'm glad the text indicated this was a truck, because I'm not sure I would have recognized what that was supposed to be from the cover. The illustrations are cute and eye-catching, but they have a very "Microsoft Paint" quality that may be a turnoff for those who more traditionally illustrated kids' books. It's doubtful that will turn off the tiniest tots who will enjoy the bright, simple colors and gentle storyline.2 s Alex Baugh1,955 120

A pink flatbed truck may be little but he sure s to go fast as he starts off his day in the company of a bigger orange flatbed truck. It doesn't take long for little truck to past big truck, but when he reaches a steep hill, and begins to slow down, it's a good thing that big truck can help him and give him a push. But now sooner does he reach to top than little truck speeds up again, and heads right into a dark tunnel. Once again, big truck helps little truck out and then puts him onto his flatbed to take a very tired little truck home. This is a sweet, easy metaphoric story for kids (little truck) who are walking and trying out their first independent wanderings not too far from a parent (big truck), with a nice message that someone will always be there for them. The illustrations are Gomi simple - geometric shapes, dots and dashes with few colors. A nice reassuring book for young readers.adventure board-book trucks1 Melody375

Tested this book on a 2 year old subject who declared it a big success. We read it at least 20 times in one sitting just to be sure. Subject loved both the little truck and the big truck. We discussed fear and friendship and how climbing makes one tired.

I will be adding this to my gift list.1 Khansa Baig51 1 follower

Little Truck is speeding off on an adventure. He climbs a big hill, but begins to slow down. A push from his parent truck helps him on his way and he’s speeding ahead again. Little Truck enters a dark tunnel and the big truck isn’t sure where he has got to. The big truck finds little truck and carries him out asleep. It’s been a busy day and it’s time to go home.

This is a cute and concise story about little ones taking their first steps of independence. Little Truck is eager to get ahead but he needs the help of his ever-watchful parent when he gets tired. The simple illustrations are really effective and the text is a lovely read-aloud from the parent’s point of view. The sturdy card pages have a nice glossy finish, perfect for the tiniest readers.

I wish I could spend 15 minutes drawing something and make it a book!picture-books soren-s-books1 Shauna26

This board book is just the right size for tiny hands. Little Truck is a tiny, hot pink flatbed truck with a square cab. A bigger truck – who is an orange rectangle, and presumably a parent – is always nearby. We get to see Little Truck zoom around – up a hill, through a tunnel – and then Little Truck falls asleep on the back of the bigger truck as they head home.
The illustrations are very simplistic (almost to the point of confusion for me personally, as it took me a minute to figure out what some of the backgrounds were supposed to be – but I suppose they can inspire creativity in young children, showing that books don’t HAVE to include elaborate drawings, thus enticing kids to draw their own book illustrations). Our boys d the book, and the slight changes in the facial expressions of the trucks are cute.

Simple and bright illustrations accompany the story of a little truck that has a very busy day. The board book makes it easy for little hands to hold, and the colors are soft, yet they are also visually appealing since there are various shapes present on the pages. The story itself follows Little Truck taking his first halting steps on the highway, picking up speed, needing a little nudge up a steep hill, crossing a bridge, entering a dark tunnel, and heading home. Young readers and their caregivers will enjoy seeing how supportive Little Truck's caregiver is, allowing him to take some risks but sticking close by just in case he needs support. Apparently, he was tired by the time he encountered the tunnel since he fell asleep and needed some assistance in making his exit. This one is a guaranteed hit for youngsters--and the adults in their lives will enjoy reading it more than once. board-books facing-fears families ...more Tasha4,117 126

Little Truck starts driving and is very fast. He passes bigger trucks as he goes. But when he comes to a very big hill, he slows way down and is almost unable to make it all the way up. It just takes a little help from that slower big truck to give him a nudge. Little Truck rushes off again, this time heading into a dark tunnel. But when only the big truck emerges from the dark, what has happened to Little Truck? This board book offers a wheeled version of what it is to walk with an enthusiastic and energetic toddler. The book has plenty of action, an homage to The Little Engine That Could, and the danger of a dark tunnel. Exactly what little ones will love!board-books Tans Anderson60 1 follower

Little Truck written by Tar? Gomi tells a story of a bright pink truck as he is going fast, climbing hills, and braving dark tunnels.

Each double-page spread depicts a scene from Little Truck's journey and is accompanied by one to three sentences of simple text, which often reads as if the bigger truck were speaking with Little Truck.

The illustrations are simple, but effective. Squares, rectangles, and circles are used to create the bodies of the trucks, dots and dashes were used to create eyes, mouths, and rosy cheeks to give them personality.

The sturdy card pages have a nice glossy finish, perfect for the tiniest readers.

Translated from Japanese (originally published in 2015), this is a charming tale of a little truck who is spreading his wings -- driving fast, climbing hills, entering a dark tunnel -- with Big Truck nearby overseeing his success.

The tone and words of the book are direct and reassuring, much that of a parent with a toddler. I especially enjoyed that this little truck is the color pink -- making it as approachable for girls as for boys.

This board book will be a welcome addition to early childhood collections in the public library or toddler home. David269 8 Read

The baby and I both enjoyed the illustrations in this book. It really did not matter that the narrative is more a list of things this little truck did. The illustrations had a playful quality because they were so generalized and so cute - look at the truck on the cover - a great representation of the essential qualities of a truck without the trailer. The colors had plenty of paint textures and variations adding a nice hand-crafted quality rather than completely sterile flat colors. Very cute and captivating.forbabylessthan2years Janet2,972 34

This board book is created by an illustrator I recently discovered and this particular title is very well done with the concept of a young truck exploring with the grownup truck not far behind. As I read I was reminded that this was the idea of a young child exploring and the parent being there to ensure the child's safety. Good story and illustrations for the very youngest.board-book picture-books read2018-picbk Asho1,789 12

L picked this book out for F and we all enjoyed it. The illustrations are very simple and almost look they could have been drawn by a child. They definitely appealed to baby F. I that as the story goes along it becomes clear that Big Truck is the parent of Little Truck and there to assist on Little Truck's adventures. Not sure that this one will be overly memorable, but it was cute!francine-s-books louisa-s-books read-but-do-not-own Amy940

Little Truck is off to see the world, zooming here and there, not always heeding the advice of Big Truck. Will Little Truck get lost in the dark? It's a simply illustrated board book about a universal parent-child experience!kids-books Ame1,421 31

Not a favorite. Art work is ok. Story has been told before. Lisa2,295

I guess it's considered progressive that the truck is pink? I don't know why it ("he") had to be gendered.f-and-g Christine126 7

Thank you to the #KidLitExchange network for the review copy of Little Truck. All opinions are my own.

We LOVED Little Truck at my house. So much so, that I had to go and buy the book because my son cried when I took it away from him.

Little Truck is going on an adventure. He has to climb up hills, go fast, and be careful of the tunnels! But no worries, the big truck is right behind him. It's the perfect little book for toddlers because it describes their situation perfectly -- out to discover the world, but we aren't going to let them go too far. We will always be there.

My little guy was screaming the whole time. "Hi little truck!" "Go, go, go!" "Oh no! Where'd little truck go?" "Where are you?" It was adorable. I'll definitely recommend this to parents of toddlers, because I know you want this reaction as well! It's become a favorite book at our house. :)
