Summary: A somewhat disappointing follow-up to Trainmice
Review: To be honest, my wife and I disagree on this book. After our 1-year old son took so quickly to "Here come Train Mice!", I was psyched to buy another Wong Herbert Yee book. Though Truckmice has the same look and feel, I think the illustrations and accompanying text aren't as obvious as they should be. And there's no simple storyline (as in Train Mice). But my wife thinks the book teaches him about what some of these commonly seen vehicles are and it is easy to read. So, we split the difference and give it 3 stars. Our son agrees - he never gets tired of Train Mice, but Truckmice is hit or miss. So, if you haven't bought either of these two books, definitely go with Train Mice first.

Summary: Trucks AND Mice! An Unbeatable Combination
Review: Truckmice combines two of my 19 month-old son's favorite things: trucks and animals. It has become an instant favorite in our house. Wong Herbert Yee has created a charming book with wonderfully bright illustrations, a simple text and endearing characters. Perhaps my son says it best "Mama, read Truckmice, more!"
