Gift to stepson from my S-I-L. Perfect choice! He loves his trucks. He is really getting into books. And enjoys being able to interact with the books. So these sliding doors are perfect. Who would have expected that the police lady would look like their bio mom!

A wonderful book for toddlers. With many different educational possibilities, these slide windows help the kids to learn to spell and read many different things such as colors, names of vehicles, and the workers who drive them. My twin 3 yr olds love this book and bring it to me often. It's also one of the most durable board books we have, with hardly any sign of wear and tear on it. Great addition to any children's library!

Great pictures

[Kelly Anderson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This should be shelved under books I've read at least 100 times. We have a very loved copy, and my daughter still enjoys looking at it even though she's almost 4. Highly recommend!

Roger Priddy, Slide and Find: Trucks (St. Martin's Press, 2007)

Very nicely-constructed (I picked up a well-used copy at a local used bookstore and the interactive bits are almost as good as new despite heavy cosmetic wear) book that will definitely appeal to the pre-lit truck fan in the family, and as you get to first reader stage, the identify-the-trucks games should continue to hold a child's interest for a while longer. While the book is simplistic beyond the level of being able to actually read it to your child, it's simple enough that this may actually become a first reader's first reader, if you handle it right in the pre-lit stages. ** ½

Discovered at my local library - this book is fantastic!!

Photos of many types of trucks on each page (including: garbage truck, dump truck, skid steer, backhoe, etc.). Construction is incredibly sturdy, and each page has four "slide and find" flaps related to different types of trucks. M is not yet old enough to get excited about the types of trucks, but I imagine a slightly older toddler would enjoy that aspect of it. She loves moving the sliders on each page, which are put together well enough (and easy enough to move) for even her little hands.

This book is so fun! It is perfect for young boys or girls who are really into automobiles. It is a slide and find book, so it gives you information on certain modes of transportation and then asks you questions about them. To find the answer, you just slide the tile! This book is very interactive and interesting. I like that a lot. the design of the book is really great, too. The pages are thick and sturdy, perfect for kids who are rough with everything. I would highly recommend this book.

good for matching skills for little ones who like trucks. The sliding windows are fun (and quiet), so I've used this with some success in waiting rooms. It's a short book, though, so not for long periods of time.

There's not much to read here and I'll admit that I thought it was stupid when we first got it as a gift, but my one-year-old son really digs this book. Not sure if it's the trucks or the sliding windows, though I am guessing the later.

Another good book for Preschoolers, this book could be used to teach about different types of trucks. After looking at the pictures, we could talk about where in our world we might see these trucks doing their jobs. This is another of my son's favorite books.

[Joanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Trucks and construction vehicles are a current favorite so this book is a big hit.

[Mindy · Rating 4 out of 5]

My ten month old starting liking this book around 6-7 months, and he still loves it. My only complaint is that some of the slides get stuck and are not that easy to slide, even for an adult.

[Heidi · Rating 5 out of 5]

A birthday present form Todd, Ashley and Corinne.

[Adrianne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Vince can't get enough of sliding the windows open and closed to see all the trucks.

Thank you, Lisa. This book continues to be a hit.

Oly loves this book

[Jessica L. · Rating 2 out of 5]

A simple book that has children match types of trucks and colors.

Themes: colors, workers, vehicles.

This book is simple enough that children can "read" this on their own.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

fun book to teach about all different kinds of trucks and what they can do.

[Christi Spicuzza · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Rita · Rating 5 out of 5]

My grandson loved this book at 19 months! we actually went through 2 of them.

[Vickie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book. My grandson love this one.

[Carolyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

My boys love naming the trucks and sliding open the little windows to see what's behind them.

[Christine Kallner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Books like this one are not my favorite type to read aloud with my toddler (by a long shot), but they are really excellent for him to explore on his own. He loves trucks, so I was not surprised that he gravitated to this one at our local used bookstore. He literally sat for 20+ minutes sliding the little flaps and looking at the trucks while I browsed the entire rest of the kids section. I was halfway tempted not to buy it in the hopes it might still be there to occupy him the next time we visit, but that seemed a bit too mean. I'm pretty sure it's going to continue to be a great quiet time activity for him though -- which is great for both of us!
