 H and I are missing November 12, 2008
some_woman (Here There)
The size is not a problem from me. This book is meant to be held by small hands. My daughter has other books this size that she walks around with pretty much all day. br / br /What bothers me is that two letters are missing. I thought I got a defective copy but I read another reviewer count 24 letters represented in this book. There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. H and I are missing in this book. No room for a Hippo car Igloo car? No Humvee Ice Truck? br / br /Because of this egregious (and shameful!) mistake, I'm tempted to give it an even lower rating. But the fact is, my daughter likes it and responds to it. (She yells out "Meow!Gaaar!" when the cat is driving one of the vehicles) So, yeah, she'll get the silliness of animals driving silly vehicles, but she won't be learning the alphabet from this book, that's for sure. br /
Small but Cute August 19, 2008
C. Grano (Las Vegas, NV USA)
This book is very small. That makes it nice to carry around, but hard to see the little drawings on the pages. Our 15 month old daughter doesn't understand all the crazy cars (pickle car, toothpaste car, etc.), we have a good time reading it occasionally. If you're interested in a Richard Scary book, I would recommend a larger book with more going on on each page. My nephew has a huge one that he loves to stare at.
 My son loves this book... August 3, 2008

I bought this book as filler, to receive free shipping. It's a small, inexpensive book. The illustrations are very cute and the format is nice. It has the letter of the alphabet and then vehicles that start with that letter. It's been great alphabet and two-word phrase practice for my 22-month old. He enjoys reading this book with me and he now says "garbage truck" and "big truck." I'm very happy I decided on this book. It is surprisingly small, about four-inches square, but cute, nontheless.
Great book for the car! June 29, 2008

After reading many reviews on here, I bought this book wondering what I'd get. It seems that most reviews here are either very strongly liking this book or very strongly not liking it (it's a kid's book for gosh sakes!) br / br /Anyway, my son loves this book! It's the perfect size to hand him in the car or leaf through and talk about at a restaurant while waiting for food. The book is silly and fun- so please lighten up if you're not sure what a "corn car" is or whatever. Richard Scarry wasn't afraid to use his imagination, and was a lot of fun as a result. br / br /It's an inexpensive book that takes a few minutes to flip through. Golden, in my eyes!
tiny truck book May 4, 2008

the perfect size for dropping in your purse for keeping a little boy entertained...my son loves the big richard scarry 'cars and trucks and things that go' which is too big to take along, so this is great for portability.
