Toot!

by Leo Timmers

The police car, the trolley, the fire engine, the ice cream truck, and the fish truck make their entrances in this brightly colored book. Each vehicle, with an endearing animal inside, causes quite a racket by making different noises. Children will learn to associate each sound with the appropriate vehicle and, at the same time, be highly amused.

Reviews

[Emerson and Theodore · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good colorful board book. I wasn't sure if Emerson would like this one because he seems to like the realistic photos of the REAL trucks we've been getting him. But he LOVED this. He opens it on his own and enjoys looking at the photos of different vehicles.
