I enjoyed this book! I think it would be a great book to read aloud to a classroom。 The message of the book is centered around friendship and helping others that are different。 It could also be used in multiple literacy lessons。 There are onomatopoeias that are present throughout the book。 Great book for a classroom or home library!

THE PIGGY HAS PAJAMAS! That little detail made this book 5 stars for me。 I loved the way all the animals are friends。 What a positive environment。

Good Night, Little Blue Truck is an adorable picture book for ages 4-7。 It discusses the power of friendship in a tense situation: a thunderstorm。 This could be a comforting book for little ones who need a reminder that people are there for them when they are scared。

Chloe Goodman,
Good Night Little Blue Truck is a fun book that describes farm animal friends who lean on each other during a stormy night。 This story also includes great sounds that farm animals make and includes great illustrations to match the sounds。 Readers are also inspired to encourage their friends during hard times!!

Markie,
My almost-three-year-old will recite this book (and frequently does) as we turn the pages, a credit to its rhyming meter。 Bonus! Good discussion of feelings as the animals all hunker down in the barn to get out of a thunderstorm together。

A bedtime story must for littles who love all things that go。 We love studying the pictures with their sparkling stars and vibrant blues。Little Blue Truck kindly sits through a startling thunderstorm with his friends then sees them all home to safety for a good night’s rest。 Recommended for 2-4 year olds
Kathryn,
Cute enough, though do note that most of it is about the animals being frightened of a thunder storm so if your little one is afraid of storms it might not be the best choice for bedtime。
Pam,
Charming bedtime story about the Little Blue Truck and friends。They come together when a storm happens and learn to not be afraid of the thunder and lightning。
Clare,
Another cute addition to this series。

Perfect bedtime story
Allyson (Belle),
I loved this little story。 Such a cute story about showing kindness to others when they are afraid。
Beth Leary,
This is a great bedtime story。 A storm is coming and the little blue truck is helping his friends not to be scared of the storm。 So he welcomes them in and they wait until the storm is done。 A thunder storm can be scary and there is comfort with the little blue truck。 Enjoy this book with any child。
Kristen Miller,
Good Night, Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle is a sweet bed-time story。 This book touches on some important topics。 For example, the importance of friendship and being there for others to help them get through tough, scary, and challenging times。 I enjoyed how this book included onomatopoeias throughout, as well as keeping a fun and entertaining rhythm。 I would like to have this book on hand, so that I could read it in my classroom and at home!-Kristen
Jennifer Griffin,
Cute story, but not as captivating as the original Little Blue Truck。 Themes of friendship and sharing are still present with great attention to detail in facial expressions of the Little Blue Truck and the farm animals。 Little Blue hides himself and his friends in a garage during a thunderstorm then drives them all home where each character in quick succession goes to sleep。
Julie,
Adorable! I love this series!
Tianna Lee,
great book! the animals come together to wait out a night storm。 it promotes children relying on one another to get through not so good times。 I love That!
Kri O'Kellas,
A rhyming bed time tale with a pig, duck, goose, cow, chicken, goat and of course a little blue truck。 It’s a stormy night and everyone wants to stay dry and safe from the thunderstorm so they all join the little blue truck in the shed and then little blue truck takes them all home safely for bedtime once the storm passes。
Laranda,
Loved the well thought out rhyming scheme which makes it sound like a lullaby and the gorgeous artwork。 Such a great variety of animals throughout, and shares some good lessons about nature! Read October 2020。
Heath Salzman,
This is probably my favorite of the Little Blue Truck series。 It’s just a cozy book for a stormy night。

A nighttime storm sends Blue, his friend toad, and all of the animals on the farm huddling together in Blue's garage。 Not to worry, though, because they have each other! When the storm is over, Blue takes each animal back home and drops them off saying, "goodnight。" A great bedtime story for fans of "Little Blue Truck," with all of the favorite characters included。 A nighttime storm sends Blue, his friend toad, and all of the animals on the farm huddling together in Blue's garage。 Not to worry, though, because they have each other!

Good Night, Little Blue Trucks has grown to be one of my favorite read-aloud books for children。 The mix of Jill McElmurry's beautiful illustrations and Alice Shertles constant, funny onomatopoeia, creates a fun story that will leave children wanting more。 Little Blue Truck and his friend Toad have to hurry home to get out of the storm。 When they get home, they seem to be joined by more and more of their barnyard friends, trying to get out of the thunder crashing。 Hen said "cluck" it's wet outsi Good Night, Little Blue Trucks has grown to be one of my favorite read-aloud books for children。 The mix of Jill McElmurry's beautiful illustrations and Alice Shertles constant, funny onomatopoeia, creates a fun story that will leave children wanting more。 Little Blue Truck and his friend Toad have to hurry home to get out of the storm。 When they get home, they seem to be joined by more and more of their barnyard friends, trying to get out of the thunder crashing。 Hen said "cluck" it's wet outside。 Pig said "oink", is there room for me? Eventually, everyone gathered around waiting for the storm to pass。 Reading this book is so fun to young learners, every animal becomes a new voice and a new sound, and students will begin to read-along with you! I would argue this is also a great story to read before sleep or nap time, or even when teaching weather and storms。 The Little Blue Truck books are all sure to leave children excited and ready for more! 。。。more
Lyle,
It has a nice rhythm, but after the 500th time through, it becomes a little tiring。 Little Blue and Toad have some time of relationship that the series is beginning to unfold。 I am on pins and needles to find out what that even means。
Tabi Hunt,
Copyright 2019。 Genre fiction。 I enjoyed reading about the friendship between the animals and Little Blue。 In my classroom this series could help illustrate important life skills; such as, the importance of developing cooperation, and compassion for successful peer relationships。
Mort's Kids,
Aren't farm animals used to the rain?The ones who need cover, don't they have pens and barns?And while thunder shouldn't be scary, lightning should be, right?And in a lightning storm do you really want to be on top of a metal truck (though at least it has rubber tires)?And why is Frog driving? I thought this truck drove himself。 Did we learn nothing from Sheep in a Jeep?So many questions。 The original Little Blue Truck isn't bad but I'm not sure we needed a series, here。 Aren't farm animals used to the rain?The ones who need cover, don't they have pens and barns?And while thunder shouldn't be scary, lightning should be, right?And in a lightning storm do you really want to be on top of a metal truck (though at least it has rubber tires)?And why is Frog driving?

Susan,
I've got a soft spot for Blue, the kids love them all, and I think the illustrations are so charming。 This wasn't my favorite, but it's cute。 I just realized the original illustrator passed away - the illustrator for this did a great job emulating her style。 I've got a soft spot for Blue, the kids love them all, and I think the illustrations are so charming。 This wasn't my favorite, but it's cute。 I just realized the original illustrator passed away - the illustrator for this did a great job emulating her style。 。。。more
