Trash Trucks!

We picked up this book from our library's annual sale and it turned into the absolute favorite for both of my boys when they were 2 and 3 years old, and they still ask for it by title now that they are a tad older. It's got great simple lyrics, and awesome pictures and they beg for the story all the time. They love the garbage trucks eating all the trash, and to look at all the face on the last pages and guess which one looks most like different people we know. I'd love to know who all the faces are .... some I can guess, but many not.

One of my oldest son's favorite picture books. I think I must have read this one a thousand times. TRASH TRUCKS! TRASH TRUCKS! TRASH TRUCKS! The great thing about this book... besides being about garbage trucks of course... is the fabulous, original artwork by Daniel Kirk. No matter how many times we read this one, there was always something new my son was pointing out. AND it was a very fun read-aloud. I think it's strange that this one isn't more popular or at least that I don't see it around as often as I would have thought. It was such a huge favorite in our house, I'd recommend to anyone with young truck fans!

All 5 of my kids loved this book - both boys and girls. We checked it out over and over from the library. When they lost their copy, we decided to purchase one for ourselves.

Here come Kim and her pal Pete this book is a reading treat. I have read this book to my children countless times. They know it verse by verse, we love looking at all the famous people on the last page throwing out their trash, including the author and Corkscrew from Skate Board Monsters. I even entertained college students with this hip hop adventure.

As much as I disliked this book at first, I must admit that my 2 year old son absolutely loves it! For the reader, it is a bit difficult at first- but after the first "read it again, Mommy" I think that anyone will find this to be a great one for the kids (and you may just find yourself enjoying it, too!)
