Illustrated in full color. This car-and- truck-filled alphabet extravaganza that starts with an ambulance and ends with a zippercar, is shaped like Lowly Worm's applemobile.
Customer Reviews:
Great beginner book for toddlers.......2007-06-27
My 18-month son LOVES this book - he is obsessed with cars to begin with, and this book has lots of silly types of cars that he recognizes otherwise (bananamobile, egg car, garbage truck). From the day I brought this home, we've read it a zillion times.
Perfect for little hands.......2007-06-02
This book is great for a young toddler/child to carry around and look at. Because it fits so well in their small hands, it's wonderful for stroller rides while you shop. Great for boy or girl.
Cute book.......2007-05-21
My 13-month old son loves this book. It is a tiny book, great for his hands. He loves vehicles and gets some ABC instruction at the same time.
Another Scarry winner!.......2007-05-07
This is definitely my favorite Scarry book for toddlers. It's a sturdy board book and small--perfect for little hands and easy to put in a diaper bag or take on a car ride. My 2 y/o loves it!
just the right size.......2007-01-20
My nephews like this book. Just right for their small hands. Richard Scarry's books are always great.

"I stink!" How can you not love such swagger and candor? And Kate and Jim McMullan's big-eyed, loudmouthed garbage truck really must stink--by its own admission, and given all those smelly bags it's been cramming into its huge back hopper.
Most kids already love garbage trucks on general principle, and one assumes that can only go double for a sass-mouthed, animated dumper like this one, out on its early-morning rounds: "See those bags? I SMELL BREAKFAST! Crew? Get me to the curb! Lights? Blink! Brakes? Squeal! Tail gate? SAY AH!" The many opportunities for loud, large-type sound effects should make for spirited readings, and a recipe for "alphabet soup" lets young readers practice their letters, working through the ABCs from apple cores to zipped-up ziti with zucchini.
The text to I Stink!, while fun, is nowhere near as clever as the art. But fortunately Jim McMullan's fun, fat drawings and type treatments more than make up the difference, loading Dumpsters full of personality into this grimacing, grinning, growling--even burping!--big rig. Kids will have a good time doing diesel-powered imitations, but even more importantly, they'll learn where they'd be without their neighborhood trash truck: on top of "Mount Trash-o-rama, baby." (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
Book Description
Know what I do at night while you're asleep?
Eat your trash, that's what!
With ten wide tires, one really big appetite, and an even bigger smell, this truck's got it all. His job? Eating your garbage and loving every stinky second of it!
And you thought nighttime was just for sleeping.
Customer Reviews:
Mom! Read the "Stinky Book"!.......2007-06-26
This book is a slam dunk! The pictures are so enjoyable! Kids love the rhyming. Kids want to hear this book over and over!
Great book for boys and girls.......2007-06-26
My four children (three girls and a boy) all loved I Stink. This is the perfect book for toddlers who can recognize the sound of a trash truck three blocks over and then run to the window in eager anticipation. I got this book for my son and was surprised that my girls liked it as much as he did (maybe we can finally take a break from all the Fairy Tale books and focus on Kate McMullan's other works!) Highly recommended!
I Stink Doesn't Stink!.......2007-06-18
My son absolutely adores this book, and since he is only 3 he can't read it, but he has it nearly memorized. The visuals are very bright and inviting. The words are easy to follow. I found I Stink on one of our normal trips to the library, and every visit thereafter he wanted to check out I Stink, so I bought it. I also bought other books by the McMullans, and he's enjoyed those as well.
Loved it!.......2007-06-13
I used this during my student teaching in a kindergarten class, and the kids just couldn't get enough. We all loved it! They wanted to read it every day.
A boy and his garbage truck--it's a beautiful thing.......2007-04-24
In addition to all the other reasons why this book is fantastic (which my son and I totally agree with, btw), we love this because it is a wonderful read-aloud book. What makes it particularly good for that is the way that the authors use different typefaces, positioning and text formatting to let you know exactly how to read a particular word or phrase (it's too bad that more children's books don't do this). And even the most rhythm-challenged parent should be able to come up with a respectable flow for the truck's "back-up rap". Lots of fun for both child and parent.
Average customer rating:
- Love it!
- My daughter absolutely LOVES this book
- Great Book for 2-3 year olds
- Still loves it.

Book Description
Packed with flaps, Cars, Trains, Planes, and Trucks takes kids on a learning adventure through Discovery City. The Little People® make it fun to learn all about the vehicles found in a neighborhood, at the airport, at the train station, in the city, and in the harbor. For added educational value, each locale also reinforces one learning concept-colors, pairing, matching, counting, or shapes.
Customer Reviews:
Love it!.......2007-05-19
All of the Little People flap books are good. My kids love them and they are great for taking with you on a plane ride. We bought them, hid them, wrapped them and then gave them to the kids on the plane. It occupied them for a couple of hours because there are so many flaps.
Highly recommend.
My daughter absolutely LOVES this book.......2007-03-11
This is one of my daughter's favorite books. There isn't a lot of reading to the book, but lots of room for discussion. She loves to lift the flaps and I must say I am suprised how sturdy the flaps are. At 14 months, she can be quite rough on books and not a single flaps has ripped. I plan on purchasing another one for her soon.
Great Book for 2-3 year olds.......2007-01-29
My 2-1/2 year old grandson loves this book! In fact the last purchase was to replace his damaged first copy. The little people are familiar,well loved characters,and what little boy doesn't love vehicles? Reading this book with him teaches colors, shapes and problem solving. I would highly reccommend this book for toddlers and for parents and grandparents who love spending time with their children/grandchildren.
Still loves it........2006-10-25
My son, now over 3 1/2 years old still loves this book, after 2 years. The words/poetry are not particulary inspiring, but the pictures are colorful, and there are a lot of things to look at on each page. Each double page covers a different topic: colors on the neighborhood vehicles page, shapes on the planes page, counting on the train page, jobs on the city vehicles page, matching sea creatures on the ships page. The book really captures his attention, and he still finds it interesting even after he has mastered all the learning exercises. I would highly recommend it.
LOVE this book and the entire series.......2006-08-28
My 16 month old daughter, Sophie, was introduced to the Little People Lift-the-flap series with the Farm book when she was 9 months old. She loved that book so much that for easter I purchased school bus and the cars & trains one, just today I bought the newest ones (busy town and the zoo). She gets so exicted after saying "book" when I pick her up and put her in my lap and begin reading the pages (that i now have memorized). She also enjoys lifting the flaps herself. Through these books she has learned a lot of differnt animals including what sounds they make. I would give these books ten stars if I could and plan to begin giving them as gifts to other children.

Book Description
Engaging alphabet books are perennial bestsellers with unlimited demand, and so are books about fire trucks. This splendid book is a surefire winner! As in their previous collaborations, the Woods bring lowercase letters to life in a fun adventure that is sure to have children learning their alphabet without even realizing they are studying. In this action-packed adventure, we witness the lowercase letters as they save the day and the uppercase letters. Riding in a fire truck they fixed themselves, these lowercase letters become heroes with firehoses!
Customer Reviews:
His dad is a better illustrator.......2007-03-16
The Woods family has some great books done by the mother and father. Not too impressed with the son's computer graphic illustrations. Have the fish book too. Seems to be capitalizing on earlier success of the parents. Storyline suffers too. This book, while better than the fish one, misses at the beginning and the end even for my young son. Why do the letters fly away on a pencil? And the last page writing a thank you letter to the grandparents? It would be best just to dump these pieces and have a story about the letters in their own world. Also, to have the capital letters' firetruck get in a wreck and totally flip over seems to be an unnecessary violent act. Couldn't the truck have just broken down? It is an okay book. For the price, you could find better ABC stories and much better Woods material.
A GREAT book for learning letters!.......2007-01-28
My three year old fell in love with the first two books in this series. She is now four and was ecstatic to receive the newest book, Alphabet Rescue, for Christmas. She love getting to know the upper and lower case letters!
He LOVES it!.......2007-01-10
My son loves this book and all of the Alphabet books by Audrey Wood. We started reading them together when he was 2 1/2 and the books quickly became his favorites. He has them all memorized and we incorporate "ABC adventures" into stories that we make up for him every night before he goes to sleep. I highly, highly recommend this book and the others by Audrey Wood.
A good time identifying and finding the 'little' letters of the alphabet embedded in a gay story........2006-12-10
Audrey Wood and Bruce Wood's ALPHABET RESCUE is a pick for elementary-grade schools where kids are learning the alphabet basics. A colorful blend of full-page photos and drawings embellishes the story of little letters from Charley's Alphabet who are disappointed when the capital letters won't let them have fun with the grown-up fire truck. So they decide to build one of their own. Kids receive a basic introduction to phonics games and will have a good time identifying and finding the 'little' letters of the alphabet embedded in a gay story.

Book Description
Exciting photographs are paired with cool facts and simple explanations in this earthmoving ABC. Kids love trucks and diggers and this alphabet book has all their favorites, from the speedy skid steer loader to the giant 797 off-highway truck (one of the biggest trucks in the world!). Seeing real Cat machines at work, digging, hauling, dumping, and lifting, puts young readers right there on the construction site in the middle of the action. (No hard hats necessary!)
Customer Reviews:
WOW!.......2007-01-15
This book was a big hit at Christmas with my 18-month old nephew. He opened it, climbed into his father's lap and looked at each page. The book has great pictures and the pages were easy to turn with his small hands.
EXCELLENT- even for my 2 year old son!.......2005-11-29
If you are tired of all the cartoon-like, euphemistic, personified, books depicting cars/trucks/machines with smiley faces then this book is for you. My 2 year old is intrigued by the real machines he sees in the book that is also represented to him in his everyday environment. This book is definitly for older children but like I said- even younger ones will love it!
Excellent! A new favorite.......2005-07-25
We checked out this book from the library for the past 4 weeks and now I'm on here to buy it. My son LOVES it and we read it at least 2-3 times a day! It's great for the letters but also for any little one that loves construction trucks.
Though a Commercial for the Cat, It Is Great for Children.......2003-09-15
There are children, yes-- both boys and girls, that are extremely fascinated by large and very capable machines. In fact, if you are a parent who has to stop at every pit, new road, or excavation because you have a child who says, "Mom!/Dad!, STOP!!! I want to look at this," this book is for your family.
Children see major equipment all the time. ... Because Caterpillar had the wisdom to put these machines in a context at their level (i.e. learning the alphabet because a BIG machine begins with the letter), it makes it easier for parents and educators to help children learn the reasons why to learn to read. Each letter of the alphabet has a giant Caterpillar machine or some aspect of it that goes with it. The page features a photograph of the machine or the part with an easily understood description of it.
Caterpillar, the company, is featured in this alphabet book and I never thought this would happen. They saw the connection to children. ... I am sending this alphabet book to children of the children who grew up with sandboxes with toy equipment to move the sand around.
Though a commercial for the Cat, it is great for children. It's good! It belongs in elementary school libraries and in the home libraries of busy boys and girls. Active sandboxes demand it. . . and so do future civil engineers!

This book is very popular in our house, getting my son to agree to story time (and thus the inevitable nap or bed time that follows) when he is in full fight mode. My two year old loves this book! I would give it five stars based on his love for it except for the fact that there are times that Mommy is not in the mood to be creative and make up her own story to it since it is strictly a picture book. Most of the time, it is not a problem, the pictures make the story easy to tell, but sometimes I am just not in the mood. However, my son adores this book and has learned how the pictures help tell the story as we discuss, for example, which way the truck will go when it reaches a fork in the road and how there is fog on the bridge. As a certified early childhood teacher, I know how important that skill is in learning how to read, so I love that about this book. All in all, this book is a wonderful addition to our home library.
Nice Illustrations!.......2006-06-30
My one year olds like to flip through this book. They love trucks, so anything with the theme works for them. Warning: if you are going to read this one aloud, you'll have to make up the story - no text.
Picture Book .......2005-10-03
I was able to use this book for a "Transportation" unit used in our Reading Program. It's full of colorful pictures and encourages children to come up with imaginative sentences and/or phrases. It helps students who are not able to read as well let you know what is going on in each picture. It helps with their visual comprehension and re-telling of stories without reading. This is a book that is great for "bilingual" students as well. It helps with their limited English and repeats words to aid in their visual literacy.
Students are enthusiastic and encouraged to think about what will happen next? From the first page we see a huge truck full of bicycles and we follow the truck on its journey to delivering the trucks to a store. Along its journey we are shown different scenery such as busy streets, busy highways, tunnels, rainy weather, the country, and what looks like San Francisco (bridges).
This book is also helpful in teaching students different transportation devices in our streets as well as reading street signs for safety. Wrong Way, One Way, and Stop signs are apparent in the pictures. As well, as cardinal directions such as North, East, West, (South doesn't appear, but could be taught).
It helps students/children learn about environmental print. This type of print is print that we see all around us on a day-to-day basis. Although, you may think that Environmental Print is not important, it actually is in helping students read. Colorful signs are displayed in the book with nonsense words, but it helps students read and predict what the signs could be used for.
Another idea in using this book could be for a farming/produce unit to help students/children understand how products such as milk, cheese, tomatoes, breads, and meat get to our supermarkets;A lot of students/children are unaware of this process.
A Great Memory From My Childhood..........2005-04-17
I remember looking at this book when I was about 6 or 7, I am now 25 and it has stuck with me all of these years and influenced my life (I am a truck driver) and I can not wait to one day share the same book with my son.
imaginative!!!!!.......2004-12-15
the book has no narration which is good as it will encourage you or your child to churn out an imaginative and creative storyline... this book is a testament to the phrase "pictures are worth a thousand words".....

My son goes bananas over firetrucks (and now this book)!.......2005-08-16
If your son/daughter is in to firetrucks,this is the book. My two-year old son is bananas over this book. He looks at it all the time and loves rubbing his hands over the textures on each page. The pictures are great and realistic. This is a must-have for the (2-year old) firetruck ethusiast! He/she will have blast with this book.
For much smaller kids..........2005-07-28
I bought this book for my three year old who LOVES fire trucks. Although he does love it, it is a bit small and seems geared toward age 1-2. It is a very short book, just a few pages, and very small for the price. The size is clearly listed on the page, but I wasn't prepared for how small it actually was. Still a cute and entertaining book my son enjoys looking at the pictures and feeling the front grill of the fire truck.
