Big props for rhyming “quack it “with “racket.” Five stars, which is saying some thing because I read this literally every single day at least twice and it is pretty long compared to all of the other books my two-year-old son owns.

Review Originally from Here: https://ashlynmadani.wixsite.com/themadanifamily/post/book-review-little-blue-truck-series
Here is the thing. I bought Good Night, Little Blue Truck for Emmett as a Christmas present. When it came in, I was like "Umm...it's a hardcover, but not like the other hardcovers." So, I ended up saving it for his 1st birthday, even though I knew he still wouldn't be able to read it then. This book is an actual hardcover book with a book sleeve and paper pages. Just know that before you buy it. Mainly, this sits in the closet, so he doesn't damage it. I've pulled it out twice for him, and he is a little upset that I don't let him flip the pages, so he hasn't read the whole thing more than once.
"Thunder crashing. Lightening flashing." Blue and Toad are on their way home during a thunderstorm. Once they get settled in, different animals start showing up and asking if they can have a safe place to stay during the storm.
Blue tells everyone that thunderstorms are good because it helps water the plants. I think the author was trying to add a not so subtle way to tell kids to not be scared of thunder and lightning. I'm not too sure how well this will work. I guess I will find out in a few years. Anyways, after the storm passes, Blue and Toad take everyone home. Once everyone is home, Blue and Toad head back to their place, and go to sleep for the night. Now you get why it's called Good Night, Little Blue Truck?
This was probably one of the longest books in this series. And, I'm not saying that as a bad thing. I think it is really cute how all the animals seem scared of the thunderstorm, but they feel safe with everyone else. I would recommend this book for ages 2.5 and up because it is a hardcover and not a board book. However, if they create a Good Night, Little Blue Truck board book, I would say buy it right away because it will end up being a favorite.
Overall, a good book. But, has anyone else wondered how all these animals can fit in the back of Blue? Also, that teddy bear is cute.

Pretty standard fare for Little Blue Truck. A thunder storm has blown in and the farm animals would like to be with Little Blue where it is safe and dray. After the storm Little blue tucks them all in. Typical but still fun Little Blue Truck story.

Simple and direct good night book with a great message about friendship. Nice dark deep illustrations suitable for the setting of night.

Loved the well thought out rhyming scheme which makes it sound like a lullaby and the gorgeous artwork. Such a great variety of animals throughout, and shares some good lessons about nature! Read October 2020.
