A country truck feels out of place in the speedy, noisy city until he comes to the rescue during a giant traffic jam.



Book Synopsis



The #1 New York Times bestselling Little Blue Truck finds his way out of a jam on a trip to the city. This lap board book edition is perfect for sharing.

The big city sure is a speedy, noisy place for a country truck like Blue. Everywhere Blue looks, he sees buses, police cars, taxis, vans, a street sweeper, and even the mayor's limousine. Zooom! Wooeeee . . . ! "Make Way!"

With everyone pushing to be first, soon there's a giant traffic jam! But even a wrangle-tangle is no match for Little Blue Truck, who comes to the rescue in true Blue style.

Brimming with bright colors, sounds, and city energy, this Little Blue Truck adventure makes working together and taking turns more fun than ever.



Review Quotes




". . . big, swooshing street sweeper; the taxi with screeching brakes; the busy police car; the frowning bus. The angry traffic standoffs and the small truck's triumph will be welcome fuel for many preschoolers' imaginative play."--Booklist "It's in the fusion of the old-fashioned with the modern-eclectic--one man in the crowd listens to an iPod--that the book's artistry shines."--Publisher's Weekly --

This book is so angry.. I should have looked at it in stores first instead of buying online. We love the little blue truck but not this one. Read it to my 2 year old once and that was it. Returning.

The Little Blue Truck is the best book, and still gets regular rotation. A gentle story about hubris and community, consequences and kindness, and learning animal sounds. But the sequel, hmm, not so much. It models trucks and cars being rude, pushy, and using phrases I don't want my kid picking up. It's not as effective of a book either. I just kinda quietly put it aside. The original is good enough solo.

This book is awesome! Bright, vibrant illustrations on each page. A lot to look at and a lot for little ones to see, find, point out (which can make reading the book longer, but that’s ok). We have the original Little Blue Truck book and our son loves it; it only made sense to get Little Blue Truck Leads The Way. The only thing I want to note (and it’s not necessarily negative), the Leads The Way book is very large. It is 10”L x 9.5”H x 3/4”W. It’s not exactly easy to hold with one hand, but it’s a lot of fun for little ones to look at. It’s easy for them to turn the page while sitting on your lap.
