Zeg the truck can't control his bouncy new tires. Can Blaze and the other Monster Machines save the day? Kids ages 2 to 5 will find out in the all-new, full-color book based on an episode of Nickelodeon's Blaze and the Monster Machines. This Nickelodeon Read-Along contains audio narration.
In the Axel City Garage Blaze and AJ are helping Gabby unload tires. They're silly old tire Gabby explained. Inside the crate were dancing tires, feathery chicken tires and stinky tires. Zeg wanted the green bouncy tires. These are the silliest tires once they start bouncing they don't stop. Zeg bounced out of the garage and into traffic. They needed blazing speed to catch him. V r o o m!!!!! Did they catch him? How high did he bounce? You get to read/listen to find out. The Monster Machines are ready to help. Everyone loves Blaze and with the bouncy tires he needs their help in this high octane Golden Book. Age 3-7 boys and girls will love this book I borrowed from the Prime library.
Daniel and I got the Blaze Little Golden Books set for Jack for Christmas because he loves Blaze. He finally discovered them today and asked me to read them. He sat in my lap in the loft for most of the time (but he did do some walking around the table too) while I read. As expected, he was excited to see the monster machines. He was excited to see Zeg and thought the bouncy tires were hilarious. I think he liked the silly voice I did for Zeg too.
My son had remembered this episode from TV.We enjoyed this book together. My son hopes I read this for him at bedtime again. And I will be proud to.Very silly story.I try to make silly voices for each of the book we read together. Zeg is the silliest voice I've done so far.
So, what’s not to like about Blaze and Zeg? My boys are Blaze and the monster machine fans. And I enjoy it as much because I know they’re learning math and enhancing their vocabulary. My boys learned what adhesion is and how to solve problems. We enjoy reading Blaze and the monster machine stories. Recommend it!
The kiddo LOVES this series - and on TV it does an alright job of introducing some STEM concepts, but it doesn't translate to the books. The artwork is nice, but it's clear that someone was trying to translate an episode of TV and missed some information. That being said - Little Man loves it and could read it until the cows came home!
Easy fun book to read! Great that it plays with the characters from the show which may son absolutely loves. Easy words to read for beginner readers too.
Basic Plot: Zeg puts on silly tires and then Blaze and company must help him stop and get regular tires on.
As far as these TV adaptations go, this is pretty decent. I like the fact that this series teaches science using actual science terms. In this book, it was "adhesion." The plot was silly, but fun for these books.
My little guy loves these stories but we don't watch the show so I'm a little confused why zeg talks different than everyone else (other than he's a dinosaur-- but the trucks don't talk any different than the humans...).
