Rhyming and repeating make for a good book to share。

Had to hide this book from our kids。 The gophers are creepy and don't make sense。 Sheep in a Jeep is more palatable。 Had to hide this book from our kids。 The gophers are creepy and don't make sense。 Sheep in a Jeep is more palatable。 。。。more
Mike Bowers,
Deep read。 Good to teach people how to count, but the story doesn’t really match the horror of what’s happening in the pictures。
Caitlinleah,
We loved this one。 I got real sick of reading it。 But I loved when my preschooler re-enacted it with his trucks。
Aimee,
My three year old loved it! He enjoyed the illustrations and I think the repetition and rhyming really kept him interested。
Vanessa Sanchez,
This is a great book for counting and rhyming。 The book has a fun flow to it and it give children the opportunity to hear repetitions。

The Truck is Stuck is about two characters driving a truck full of goodies gets stuck in a pothole。 Strangers passing by offer assistance but have had little success。 After five people attempted to help they still couldn't get out of the pothole。 Luckily the next stranger to pass by was a tow truck driver who picked the stuck truck right out of the pothole and saved the day。 These little molerat critters successfully stole every goodie out of the back of the stuck truck at the end giving the rea The Truck is Stuck is about two characters driving a truck full of goodies gets stuck in a pothole。 Strangers passing by offer assistance but have had little success。 After five people attempted to help they still couldn't get out of the pothole。 Luckily the next stranger to pass by was a tow truck driver who picked the stuck truck right out of the pothole and saved the day。 These little molerat critters successfully stole every goodie out of the back of the stuck truck at the end giving the reader a little laugh。 The overall theme would be shedding light to the act of helping others who are in need。 It is good to expose children to the act of kindness so when they grow older they might just lend a helping hand when needed。While reading My Truck is Stuck I felt entertained, the illustrations were vibrant and creative, the build-up was interesting because I honestly wasn't sure how the truck was going to break free, especially since there were five people attempting with no success。 I would recommend My Truck is Stuck because of how it exposes children to a quality foundation of kindness。 The more children are around it the more likely they will emulate the act of helping。 。。。more
Terri Jane,
There is a cute rhyming scheme to this story, and young students will enjoy counting to ten。 The illustrations are great!
Cara Byrne,
Read in board book format, my toddler loves the pictures of the trucks and vehicles throughout, but the story was a bit text heavy and did not keep her attention。
Nicky,
He loves this book。 Absolutely, from the very first read。

This is a great book to read for Emergent literacy。 There's also a counting numbers aspect in the book when counting the vehicles, so that's fun!Reading Level:LEXILE - 420LATOS - 1。4Traits:Sentence Fluency This is a great book to read for Emergent literacy。 There's also a counting numbers aspect in the book when counting the vehicles, so that's fun!Reading Level:LEXILE - 420LATOS - 1。4Traits:Sentence Fluency 。。。more

My grandson loves this book。 We have read it 5 times today。 The illustrations are fun& bold colors。 Repetition of words & sounds is good for toddlers。
Emma Horn,
This book has strong repetition in the text and is easy for young readers to predict the words and phrases as they come。 It reinforces counting by adding one vehicle to the long line of vehicles trying to tow the truck that is stuck。Organization Word choice LEXILE: AD420LATOS: 1。4

Cute book with repetition and things going on in the background to take notice of as they are trying to get the truck 'un-stuck'。 Fun coincidence is that we were also reading Tea Rex by Molly Idle。 My three year old grandson was able to make a connection between the books (that I didn't plan and had no idea about since we had never read these books before)。 When Tea Rex comes for tea, the children grab one another and have to puuuulllll Tea Rex into the house because he is so large and won't fit Cute book with repetition and things going on in the background to take notice of as they are trying to get the truck 'un-stuck'。 Fun coincidence is that we were also reading Tea Rex by Molly Idle。 My three year old grandson was able to make a connection between the books (that I didn't plan and had no idea about since we had never read these books before)。 When Tea Rex comes for tea, the children grab one another and have to puuuulllll Tea Rex into the house because he is so large and won't fit through the door。 In My Truck is Stuck, the cars line up and pull together to get the truck out of the hole。 Just a little something that he noticed while reading and was able to make a connection to another book。 Fun book to read。 I recommend。 :) 。。。more

My boys think this book is hilarious!

This was a cute rhyming book but it wasn't my favourite。 There are better truck books。 This was a cute rhyming book but it wasn't my favourite。 There are better truck books。 。。。more
Ryan,
This is a fun book about a stuck dump truck。 It does have a cadence, but it takes a page or tow to get the flow right。 The illustrations are fun and colorful and there is enough action verbs to get kids involved during storytime。
Jc,
My Young Learners love this book。 And I enjoy reading this book to them。

Many different types of vehicles try to help a stuck dump truck, full of delicious treats, but only one prevails!

This is book is a good book to talk about problem solving
Jill,
This was a fun one--I particularly liked the ending when I realized that the gophers took the load the truck was carrying all throughout the book。 I think kids will enjoy seeing that happen。
SRUJANI,

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 I'm not sure the rhyming works all that well, but it's cute and kids will enjoy watching the prairie dogs unloading the truck while our driver tries to get his truck unstuck。 I'm not sure the rhyming works all that well, but it's cute and kids will enjoy watching the prairie dogs unloading the truck while our driver tries to get his truck unstuck。 。。。more

My son loves this book。 It's rare that a library borrow is such an instant, read-it-10-times-in-a-row book, but this one was。 If your kid likes trucks, check out this fun rhyming picture book。 My son loves this book。 It's rare that a library borrow is such an instant, read-it-10-times-in-a-row book, but this one was。 If your kid likes trucks, check out this fun rhyming picture book。 。。。more

My truck is stuck is a book about a dog who “has rotten luck and gets his truck stuck。” Lots of yelling, help! help! But not even 3 engines roaring, will get the truck unstuck。 I encourage you to read this book to see just if his truck ever gets unstuck and to hear the fun journey they go on。 Throughout this book, the theme of teamwork and friends is presented。 After students have been introduced to this book by Kevin Lewis, especially boys will want to read many of the other books by him。 He ha My truck is stuck is a book about a dog who “has rotten luck and gets his truck stuck。” Lots of yelling, help! help!
