Is there anyone out there who does not love a Lift-The-Flap book?
Little Blue Truck takes us on another adventure of a springtime ride through the countryside. His good friend Toad is driving, greeting friends and neighbors.
This is a sturdy Board Book with eight scenes and a rhyming, simple text.
Toad drives Little Blue, as they greet their friends Sheep, and Cow, and Bunny and Hen. Each of their friends have a spring time surprise to share, babies born to every one.
As Toad and Little Blue drive along, they are joined one by one by other toad friends, wearing flower crowns and filling the cargo bed with flowers.
There are plenty of opportunities for counting, ducks and bunnies and frogs.
