[A] lively picture book multitasking as a counting book, a truck
book, and an ice-cream wish-fulfillment story...
—The Horn Book
It’s [Cyrus's] portrayal of the trucks as solid machines
momentarily sidelined from their essential duties, along with the
evocation of a neighborhood brought together by a benign “Didja
ever...” moment, that makes the book feel inspired.
—Publishers Weekly
Counting books in verse are plentiful, but this one stands out. The
words roll off the tongue, a good thing, as children will demand to
hear it again and again.
—School Library Journal
Not just a counting book, the rhyming text artfully tells a story,
which climaxes when the clever young observer suggests a nifty way
to get the trucks rolling again. ... Good for storytimes and
one-on-one sharing, this should delight even the most jaded of
truck-book aficionados.
—Booklist Online
[H]andsome entertainment. This softly rhyming picture book presents
children with a small but exciting dilemma that quickly
involves—hurrah!—all sorts of trucks.
—The Wall Street Journal
The large format, bouncy rhyme and increasing mayhem all answer the
energetic child's desire for things to be big and loud. However,
the book subtly focuses the attention, too, as its captivating
illustrations invite careful "reading."
