“Little Monster Trucks GO! teaches even the youngest of readers the importance of teamwork. Little people can do big things, especially if they work together, and each of the book’s little trucks has special skills. This book is a bright, colorful, fun race where everyone is a winner.” — Sally Sue Lavigne, The Storybook Shoppe, Bluffton, SC
“Written in well-executed rhyme and full of action, the story takes place on a racecourse… The story is fast-paced and engaging with great page turns… and the terrific artwork makes it even better. The first time through, my girls and I each picked a truck and cheered them on to the end. Because of our competitive nature, we were very vested in finding out who would win… After finishing this story and a pile of others, my youngest went straight back to this one, hugged it, and declared it her favorite. 💙 Although kids any age would get a kick out of this book, its sweet spot is toddler to kindergartener.” - Jamie Bills, @jmebills
“Exciting and fast paced with a great message about team work and doing your best. The story is well written and the detailed artwork makes it even more fun! Honestly the best (and cutest) monster truck book we’ve ever read. This would make a fantastic interactive read aloud and / or tool to talk about teamwork.” - Dani, @onemorebookmama
