Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Targets the mad-about-the-backhoe-and-big-rig set . . . a wrecking ball to delight kids and destroy boredom. Dream big, kids."--Vanity Fair

"Sometimes it seems there are as many truck books published as there are actual trucks on the Interstate, with most about as subtle as an 18-wheeler's horn blast. But this smoothly rhyming ode to heavy equipment . . . is a refreshing treat. . . . Rex's brightly colored, slightly rounded vehicles strike a kid-friendly balance between realistic and toy-like."--The New York Times

* "A delightful ode to trucks goes above and beyond the usual churning, wrecking, and pounding. Cheery rhyming text. . . . All the favorites are here, with some mechanical monsters lauded less often in books of this sort. . . . Friend's rhymes produce a one-of-a-kind mighty litany of machines. These words pair neatly with Rex's art; his cartoonish style renders each vehicle with a meticulousness that will meet the approval of even the strictest vehicle enthusiast. Lucky indeed are the kids who get to indulge in this splendid little wish-fulfillment daydream."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"A cheeky poem of a picture book, in which a boy proudly describes his prowess as he helms several trucks, trailers, and construction vehicles. Humorously colloquial rhymes are well-matched to the mischief on display as the boy--accompanied by a turtle, penguin, and pig--engages in construction and demolition, occasionally saving the day. . . . Rex's (Goodnight Goon) digitally colored ink cartoons are full of vehicular action and mechanical details, from the dirt-caked treads of a wrecking ball to the gleam of an 18-wheeler's mesh grille, cast by the truck's headlights."--Publishers Weekly

"The rhythmic, rhyming text has just enough detail to keep kids engaged without slowing down the pace. . . . This colorful picture book is prime material for kids yearning to tackle tough jobs with a little help from big machines."--Booklist

Reseña del editor:
