Praise for Red Truck's Colors


Praise for the Red Truck & Friends series:

"Readers who are entertaining dreams of captaining a ship someday will celebrate the brave efforts of this 'rough, tough tugboat.'" --Publishers Weekly

"With plenty of sound effects and opportunities for call-and-response, this will be a spirited pick for one-on-one or group storytime." --Booklist

"This follow-up of sorts by the author-illustrator team behind Red Truck brings the same smooth rhyming and appealing, curvy art to another gently thrilling tale of danger averted." --The New York Times

"A good choice for young transportation lovers." --Kirkus Reviews

"The vivid yellow of Copter stands out against pale blue skies, like a warming sun on a beautiful blue day. Toddlers will enjoy this story of a hero and a helper." --School Library Journal

"Hamilton's enthusiastic rhymes and declarations shine when the book is read aloud . . . The rescue itself feels more like an adventure than a truly dangerous situation." --Publishers Weekly

*"With a well-crafted text spiced with sound effects, this appealing picture book is highly recommended for reading aloud to the truck-loving crowd." --Booklist, starred review
