5.0 out of 5 stars Best Boys Book Kit

M.A. · May 10, 2025

Only books my son needs! Got these for his first birthday, and he's still obsessed a year later. A great gift for boys, along with a wooden train set and large construction vehicles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Size Matters - Perfect for Lap Reading!

R. · September 9, 2024

BOOKS ARE NOT AS LONG AS THE FIRETRUCK! Great selection and quantity for the price. I purchased this set because they were hardback and thus easier to read and turn pages for storytime. I failed to check the dimensions. So I did not realize they are board book sized (hardback picturebooks)/smaller than typical paperback and hardback copies of Tony Mitton’s book’s we are used to seeing in libraries. Sadly, they are too small to be useful for reading in front of large groups like at well attended library storytimes. This set would make a great gift, so I will probably give the set away to a friend with preschoolers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great books!

These are so much fun. My nephews love picking a little book from the little library box. Parents will have the catchy rhyming stories memorized in no time. Big hit in the 2-5 year old crowd.

Sent this as a gift to a 3-year-old who is obsessed with emergency vehicles. I have been advised that the 3-year-old has been enjoying the books as a bedtime read aloud, and the parents enjoy the writing in them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my young son

My son is obsessed with trucks. We have had these books for a little over 1 year and they are still a hit. They are small.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little small and flimsy.

R. · September 20, 2018

It's just a little flimsy for my liking: this set won't survive very long in the hands of a toddler. The storage box is only somewhat stable when all 10 books are in, otherwise it tips over. Also my toddler gets frustrated trying to put the books in: they have to be placed rather carefuly. My biggest compain though.... Yes the pictures are colorfull and cute but i can't figure out what animals are shown in those pictures! When i start saying: this and this are flying on the airplane, i have no idea who "this" is! Also, i couldn't find which books were included before i bought this set. I was disappointed not to find helicopters and motocycles; i had to order those separately. Overall kids seem to like them a lot but mom wishes for more realistic pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome fun. Great learning exercise.

Like most toddlers, my boy is enamored with planes, trains and automobiles. More of trains and planes and a little bit less with tractors and all other means of transport. So when I picked up this set, I was sure of some of the titles and not so much of the rest. Here are our experiences from the first few days of non-stop reading.1. The Planes, trains, submarines and to a certain extent cars and boats are extremely well done. The lyric/words are well written and the images are nice and cool. There is also an ease of being able to explain some of these to the boy.2. The tractor and trucks books are a little less enjoyable because of the number of complex words, tools and items being explained and shown. I think this will be the less read books of the lot.3. The use of the same set of characters, anonymous yet associative with the rest of the books, is a good approach.4. The size of the books are just right for toddlers to be able to handle without much fuss.5. Hardcovers are well done. Not sure how long they can take a toddler abuse but it looks decent enough to hold up.6. Colors and illustrations follow similar themes and patterns across all the books which increases the kid's familiarity with all of them.Overall, for the price, it is a no-brainer. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truckload of Fun indeed!

I bought this set for my 3yo son after buying two books in the series individually. Turns out, he loved the two that I got and wanted more so I bought this set. The books are small but the size and hard cover make it easy to toss into his backpack to take in the car, grandma's house or leave on the floor (as he is prone to do) and not worry about damaging the cover like the two paper back books I got. The illustrations are colorful and focused on the storyline, the words rhyme well and are easy to follow. At the end of each book there is a recap of the important parts of the vehicles with its name, drawing and description to help your little one learn about the different parts of the submarine, rocket, digger, etc.The paper truck the books came in was instantly trashed so while it is a cute holder of the books, we ended up throwing it away and using our bookshelf to store the books.

Solid set of books, good price

S. · January 10, 2022

A bit smaller than I thought (as other reviewers have said, so I was kinda prepared for it), but not really a big deal. A cool collection on all sorts of vehicles, and the box they come in is pretty sweet as well. Recommend.

Mio figlio non vuole smetterle di leggerli, sono diventati obbligatori anche tutti 10 di fila!L'unica cosa: avrei preferito un formato un po' più grande (come quelli venduti singolarmente con copertina morbida) e senza copertina rigida giacché ogni tanto arriva una spigolata in faccia.

Good information for little people!

M. · January 31, 2025

Love them all- our first order was multiples of the same book, so I had to return it for a replacement and then all 14 different books were in the set. My son LOVES them!

Brilliant book set for any kids obsessed with vehicles

m. · December 19, 2024

This book set is brilliant and has been on high rotation since I bought it for my son for his 3rd birthday.Each book focuses on a different vehicle type (police car, boat, motorcycle etc.). It uses simple rhyming and engaging illustrations to go into detail about how the vehicles function.Perfect for curious toddlers/young kids, and the fire engine box the books sit in is such a great idea.

Great rhymes and pictures
