I read this to my son who really enjoyed it.
He doesn’t have the patience to sit through stories that are long, so the short and sweet sentences made this reading experience a success.
My oldest son enjoyed going back through the book to search for the lady bug on each page. He giggled at the monsters driving construction vehicles.
Oh my goodness, this is such a cute book! My son just read it with me and there were full-body laughs happening. The illustrations are wonderful and really grab your attention with all the details in them. I love the rhymes that are on each page too.
I loved this book! The illustrations are so fun, and the rhyming is so cute. My kids loved it and will definitely want to read over and over again. We also really enjoyed the hidden ladybugs. Overall very fun and entertaining!
I did not realise Netgalley has children books too and glad my kids able to join me! They love the vibrant pictures and fonts, which enables us to read with more expression. Thanks Netgalley for the ARC!!
Monsters in Trucks is a really bright, adventurous book. It reminded me of a more vibrant Secret World of Richard Scarry. I found it interesting that the prompt to find the ladybug was at the end of the book, which would make a child read the book again!
Being a mom to a child in speech therapy for the last couple of years, I can say this is a book we would typically look for. Its the perfect point and find book with all the busy pages. I would have loved to see a few more daily objects in the photos. I noticed a lot of socks and flowers and worms. I also loved the set up of opportunities for kids to be expressive with language like "uh oh" or "vroom vroom."
I will recommend this to any child struggling in speech. Especially little boys.
Such a fun book! The pictures of the monsters are great and are sure to invoke lots of diverse language from kids. This would be a great book to target descriptive words in speech therapy. I also love the added bonus of the search for the lady bug! So cute!
