First sentence: My lights flash bright red and blue. Helping out is what I do! I am a police car. Make my wheels spin. Let the rescue begin!

Premise/plot: Little ones "meet" different types of rescue trucks in this rhyming novelty board book. The rescue trucks are a police car, an ambulance, tow truck, lifeguard truck, fire truck, snow plow.

My thoughts: All you really need to know is that there are spinning wheels that you can spin from any page--same wheels, different trucks. They make a delightful clackety noise too.

The little one I read this to was a huge fan of this book!

{My thoughts} – Rescue vehicles are always the most exciting to see for a child. They light up and make many sounds. This book has a nice little sentence on each page about the emergency vehicle and then on the next page it tells the child to spin the wheels. The book has wheels that are similar to gears. The child spins one and the one next to it spins right along with it. It is extremely neat how it is put together.

I showed this book to my two year old daughter and she loved it. She kept brining it back to me wanting me to keep reading it. It’s always cute when she brings a book to us and says “book read.”

The illustrations in this book match the words nicely. The fact that the wheels move like gears is an added bonus to how nice this book truly is. If you have a child that loves books that have things to do within the pages, this book is definitely for you and your child!

Rescue trucks perform rescue work.

The text contains a repeated phrase, which allows young readers to anticipate what will happen next and participate in the story.

This board book features a construction with spinning wheels.

The moving wheels make this book more than worth a read!

Cute book with rolling wheels to keep the kids entertained. The wheels will start to wear out though get some glue ready.

[Sweetz]

Great book for toddlers that are learning to read. Its interactive. The words are repetitive and it has learning elements.

My son loves cars so its one of our faves.

Love these interactive Scholastic books. Great for 1 yr old. 16m old was less interested in the spinning wheels.
