One Tractor: A Counting Book

I purchased this book for my 2 year old after seeing it in the library and having to sneak it away from my son to return it back to the library. He LOVED this book because it was full of fun colors and lots of different trucks. It's also written in a catchy rhyming way and the bonus is that it's also reinforcing numbers (and colors). I think this is the perfect preschool book because it's fun but there's lots of educational opportunities. We would read it and I'd leave out truck words, or we'd name colors, or count trucks or talk about the little characters on the page and the story told through the illustrations. There are tons of books on trucks but this one is a favorite in our house...even a year after buying it.

First got this book from the library and my now 3 year old loved it. After returning it he would often ask for it at bedtime even after weeks had passed. We finally bought it and he still loves it. One thing about the paperback version is that the colors don't seem as bright/vivid as the hardback version we had from the library. That's why I took off one star.

My two year old LOVES this book! We read it many, many times a week... "Again!" Is the plea or "I want tractor book." The pictures are amazingly detailed and beautifully done. The writing is simple yet poetic. I would highly recommend this for any little reader!
