Age: 1-4
Genre: Fiction, Picture book
My two-and-a-half year old boy continues his obsession with
cars, trucks, and all vehicles, so many books we read fall into that category.
I recently brought home for him Toot Toot
Beep Beep by Emma Garcia, and he immediately fell in love with it. This is
a simple book with simple text and bright, colorful paint-and-collage
illustrations. Each vehicle has two eyes on the front to help give him or her
some character. The book features seven different vehicles, each of which makes
his or her own sound. Whether it’s the jeep going “beep beep” or the van going “chugga
chugga,” children will love hearing this book read aloud and repeating the
sounds after you. In about a week, I was surprised to find my son could recite
almost the whole book from memory. Now he loves “reading” it aloud to me. If
your child is interested in cars and trucks, you should pick up Toot Toot Beep Beep and share it with
him or her for a fun read.
