Customer Reviews

FOUR wonderful books in one! but...
I wish it had stated clearly in the description that this is a collection of four other books! I thought it was a completely different book than the ones we already have or just bought! I am a little frustrated that I just received a book that contains four books we already own.

BUT that now said, if you dont have these books in the series already (Flashing Fire Engines, Roaring Rockets, Dazzling Diggers, Terrific Trains) this is a GREAT book to have. An affordable way to get these four books at once. And I have been unable to find our copy of Terrific Trains - which is one of my son's favorite books - so unknowingly I now have new copy of it here!!! (of course, our original copy will resurface now!)

Transportation/Vehicle crazy toddlers will love these books - the illustrations are fun and the ryhmes are great. But sometimes tough for mom and dad the first few run throughs. I am in awe that my newly verbal child will ask for the other books in the series we have by name ("can we read tremendous tractors momma?" ... "I want amazing airplanes dadda")

I think we have all the books in this series now and eagerly await the next ones in paperback.

In my frustration, I would have given this book 5 stars except for the fact that the description didnt better state that it was a collection - or that I didnt see that info noted. (Doh!)
