Although this book was around when many of today's parents were youngsters, it has remained a steadfast must-have in every toddler's library. For starters, it's a great vocabulary guide that names the many things that go (and some that haven't a prayer of going, but are great fun to imagine anyway). It's also teeming with detail-rich scenes and characters on every page, teaching children the rewards of looking long and closely (such as finding the hidden "Goldbug" in each spread). Along the way it entertains with the silly and slapstick--everything from toothpaste and toothbrush cars to six fire department vehicles that show up to extinguish a ladybug-size fire in a miniature pink convertible. What's most amazing about this book, however, is its longevity. When you purchase it for your fledgling talker, you should consider it an investment. Even 11-, 12-, and 13-year-olds are known to pore over the book nostalgically, cooing at Lowly Worm and eagerly tracking Officer Flossie's book-long chase after that irresponsible, speedster driver in a cowboy hat. (Ages 2 and older) --Gail Hudson
Customer Reviews:
Great book for toddlers!.......2007-10-24
I recently checked this book out of the library for my two and a half year old son and he loves it. It is a wonderfully creative book he will be receiving for Christmas this year. He really enjoys searching for the goldbug and Dingo Dog on each page. My son loves all the Richard Scarry books we have read so far.
Eternal delight.......2007-10-08
You will be asked to read this every night. Your child will sleep with it, and bring it out to breakfast. The hardcover binding thankfully is up to repeated page-turning by a toddler, and the printing is vibrant and clear. I prefer "What Do People Do All Day" as it tells more stories, but who can tell a three-year-old!
Cars and Trucks and Things That Go.......2007-09-29
I have been sharing this wonderful book with so many new mothers of boys ever since my 32-year old enjoyed his book as a child. It is so colorful and eye-catching and it is such fun to find Goldbug. It is a wonderful way to share with your child and to help him use his mind.
Timeless!.......2007-09-28
My 37 year old daughter loved this book, especially searching for the Goldbugs. I bought a copy for her almost-three year old daughter and she loves it just as much. Makes me happy!
Great book for kids, and nostalgic for parents.......2007-09-19
My husband wanted to buy this book for our two year old daughter because he remembered it very well from his childhood. Even though there are many pages our daughter loves to flip through them and see the different types of automobiles and trucks, and she loves to find the little goldbug on each page. The book is a little larger than most of her other books, but she doesn't have any trouble turning the pages, especially if it is laying on the floor. As she gets older she should not have any trouble with it if it is in her lap. I think that this book will entertain her for years to come, as there are so many different things to look at on every page, plus the fun of finding goldbug.

Just as good as the others..........2007-05-13
The little one had a few others from this series and he likes this one just as much as the others. It's great.
Wonderful Little Board Book.......2007-01-04
I bought this book and another in the Things That Go Board Books series for my grandsons, 1 & 3. They seem to love the photos & ignore the text. The book lives in their car & is the perfect size for one or the other to read while traveling. This book is perfect for kids who love construction vehicles!
Son loves it.......2006-03-26
My truck loving 2 year old loved this book. He did manage to break it fairly soon, being a board book, but he still loves it.
My son loves this book!.......2005-08-16
My son is only 2 years old but he loves trucks. This is the perfect book for your son or daugther if they love trucks, too.
The pictures are real-life and the text provides informative information about each type of truck, with the correct name(s). I would recommend this book to any caregiver who has a child who loves trucks and anything that digs and moves!
Great Truck Lovers Book!.......2001-06-12
My just 2 year old loves this book! It is easy for him to carry while he is on the go - and it goes everywhere!! He loves trucks and this is great for him!
Customer Reviews:
This is a keeper!.......2007-06-04
One of the best books ever! I had to actually put it away at times because my youngest wanted it read over and over....
Buying Yet Another Copy!.......2007-02-28
Like the previous review, our copy has been loved to death! It is unfortunate that this book appears to be out of print . . . I would love to get a brand new copy. Our boys have just worn our copy out. Would love to buy new copies to give as baby gifts for boys. Truth be told, I am so tired of reading this book again & again . . . but they adore it.
Things that go book for little boys.......2006-02-28
I bought this book for my sons when they were little and they loved it page by page until (the book was worn out) I bought them a second copy. Since my children enjoyed the book so much I bought a copy of my grandsons. They are doing the same thing and in fact this is the second copy of I am getting for them. I am happy that they are interested in book. Two generations have now loved this bood to death. I consider this the best recomendation a book can recieve.

Neat Book one improvement to be made.......2006-11-10
I like the book. It is very clear so kids can see how to follow the dots. My only problem with the book is that I would like the marker to be attached with a long string. That way the marker is always with the book and not lost in the house waiting to be used on something it shouldn't be. Parents that also don't like the string could just cut it off. Other than the marker issue i think the book is great for toddlers.
A little too advanced my 2 1/2 yr boy.......2006-04-04
Let me start with, "I love this book." Each page is filled with all kinds of activities & pictures of 'things that go.'
Kids can look at a picture & matching word, trace, and write & draw; spot the differences between two pictures; draw the other halves/finish the drawing of the vehicles; complete the missing letters in the words; trace different shapes of lines; guess the pattern; count and write the numbers; trace the shapes; classify; learn how to draw a bike; join dot to dot; practice writing numbers and letters.
But, this was a little more advanced than I thought for my 2 1/2yr. I think it's just a right level for my almost 4yr boy.
Excellent.......2006-03-15
A very motivating book for OT. Has vehicles, letters, and other writing strokes. Excellent pictures for visual learners. Reusable pages of things children are interested in. Also good to find "what's missing?" and then draw it in. Another excellent Priddy book.
Marker is permanent!.......2005-12-06
These books are great for learning, but don't let your toddler get the marker on their clothes!!! It does NOT come out! I have tried everything!
Great for toddlers of all ages!.......2005-03-02
I bought this for my 2 yr old son because he loves cars, trucks, etc. He absolutely loves the book! Not only that, but my 4 yr old daughter loves it too! The pictures are great for practicing drawing, writing and tracing but it also reinforces counting, colors, etc. The pages wipe off VERY easily and the built-in pen holder makes it convenient to take with us on trips. We loved them so much, we bought the rest of the series!! We have a LOT of drawing, coloring and other kinds of books, but the kids come back to this series constantly.

Customer Reviews:
Not Perfect.......2007-08-28
Although my 2 and a half year old son normally loves these kinds of books, this particular one didn't live up to the test. My son is not a rough kid, but when the sound stopped working after only half a day he easily tore the sound panel from the book. The watch type batteries couldn't be replaced so we had to throw that part away, but still have the book. There are better made sound effects children's books out there.
authentic sounds.......2007-01-10
Perfect book for 18 months+. The sounds are very realistic. The signs are easy to follow, although the color of the signs in the book differ from the color of the 'noise' buttons. However, my 2-year-old grandson wasn't confused.
lots of fun for little truck enthusiasts.......2002-06-16
Our three-year old loves this book. Each spread features a full-page photograph of a big construction vehicle at work with text on the facing page. The wording is exciting, e.g. "Climb up in the cab and start your engine!" and interspersed throughout are symbols that correspond to pads at the right margin of the book. When your child presses the appropriate button, the story comes alive with the sound of a truck starting up, a horn, a digger scooping dirt, a backing-up beep or a jackhammer. The sounds are realistic and pretty clear. Your small truck devotee should really enjoy this exciting book.

Customer Reviews:
Not your average "car" book.......2007-10-09
I checked this out at the library for my 2 year old son...he is very into cars and other forms of transportation. He loved it so much we wound up checking it out for a few months! I am now purchasing it for his third birthday. I think the appeal has to do with the silliness (dogs driving cars on some pages) the word rhythms, and the retro art, which makes it fun for adults as well. It even has a page that labels some basic car parts. This is a book that I know he will love for a long time!

Customer Reviews:
My son loves this book!.......2003-12-30
My son got this book for Christmas last year when he was 5 yrs old and still likes to draw from it. This is a great stencil book for boys that love trucks and construction equipment, encourages those fine motor skills. I only wish that I could find more similar to this to add to his collection.
Even keeps my highly spirited child occupied.......2001-12-30
My son, who loves trucks of all kinds, received this book as a gift. Because he is only 3 1/2 years old and can't keep still for a minute, I didn't think this book would keep his attention for very long. I was wrong. He loves this book. I worked with him on doing the stenciling for awhile, and then he just started doing it on his own. There are some trucks with parts that are quite intricate and even tricky for an adult to stencil, but that doesn't matter. When he saw the parts he stecilled, he was very excited about what he accomplished. Coloring in the finished products are fun too. There are ten stencils in all and each stencil page describes in quick detail the various parts of the equipment. When you turn the stencil page, it overlaps the real picture of the truck and is followed by a brief description of it. I think as my son gets older, he'll even enjoy it more. This book is quite a unique gift for a boy, or girl for that matter. I highly recommend it.

Jason & Trucks.......2002-03-05
The story I read about was about trucks. I practically love trucks myself, their one of my favorite vehicles besides old hotrods...
This story had all kinds of trucks which do different jobs such as the logging truck, it carries logs to places. I liked the big monster truck...
Trucks come in different sizes and shapes. They can do all kinds of jobs including farm work, help carry building materials, deliver mail for the postal service, and fire fighters use trucks to put out fires.
This book was as good book but it left out a truck, a pickup truck. This truck book was a good book other than the pickup truck they left out.
Not Simon's best, but good.......2001-02-13
I too am a children's librarian. I am a big fan of Seymour Simon's books - he always presents interesting information, clear prose, and beautiful pictures. His truck book, however, seems to suffer from the use of file photos as illustrations instead of any pictures taken just for the book. A few of his photos are not sufficiently illustrative of his text - like his photo of a tractor shows only half of a tractor in dim light. Still, there are plenty of young truck fans out there, and you could do lots worse than this concise book.
