This was definitely a hit during Leo's traffic/stop/go/truck phase (which is ongoing). Poor little yellow often gets left out, so I'm glad there was a surprise ending! And Leo was able to figure out what yellow meant from context--what a wonderful growing and learning moment to see as a mom!
Fun to read out loud and got my two year old "reading" the words stop and go when he sees little green or red!
Henry loved it, I felt like it was missing some plot. Adorable illustrations.
OMG the small reader LOVES this book. He loves the word "GO," thanks to "Go, Dog. Go." And this book is full of "cars" doing all sorts of things. The design is so cute and it's really fun to read.
A fun story for a group read aloud about machines, construction, cooperation, movement or jobs, this book has bright, vivid illustrations and lots of opportunity for audience participation. Sometimes the word bubbles interrupt the narrative flow, so I definitely suggest the reader re-read multiple times and determine what to read first on each page- the text or the word bubbles. Still, this will be a big hit at story time!
This was a cute book using "Stop!" (the red circle) and "Go!" (the green circle). It was fun to read aloud with my toddler.
Cute book to use for a transportation story time. Children will enjoy shouting "GO!" with Little Green and "STOP!" with Little Red.
This one is great to read at storytime. You can review colors and have the kids help you when you get to the color word. It also has great tie-ins for activities afterward, like freeze dance or Mother May I.
Elliot loves shouting “Go” and “stop!” at the appropriate spots. A fun story about construction trucks and a traffic light they helped them get the job done. Read-aloud recommendation: Young toddlers to preschool
My 5 year old and 3 year old both loved this book. After a few reads one of them would read all the "Go"s and the other would read all the "Stop"s. That made it even more fun for me to read it to them again and again!
This was a fun book, and the kids really got into it. You can do go & stop loud & quiet and fast & slow. Great for opposites PLUS it helps teach them about the traffic signals!
Cute cartoony construction vehicles with a twist ending: YELLOW MEANS SLOW DOWN
Interesting presentation of the concepts of red and green traffic lights using basic machines which are building a bridge. This is a fun, active story with good appeal to many children. This story struck me subtlety with a couple of underlying themes of balance and cooperation, two concepts lacking in today’s world.
This was a hit at our house. We had to immediately read it again. The kids are learning about stop and go, and have also taken an interest in vehicles. This book also teaches project management; how much to go go go, and when to stop. I would have liked yellow to show up sooner, rather than as the punchline.
Age: 1-year-old-preschoolThings that go: constructionEmotion: Patience, balance, take your timeEff it, I'm giving it 5 stars. Harper achieves so many things in this highly attractable book. One day, Little Green says his first word: go. Excited to share his word with the world, he bounces inside of an empty stoplight and shouts it for everyone to hear. Waking from their naps (holding adorable things such as a blanket and teddy bear), the construction vehicles wake up and zoom to action. Little G...
The story of 'go' and 'stop'. All 'go' leads to problems. All 'stop' means nothing gets done but when 'go' and 'stop' work together, a new bridge is built.Fantastic book for read alouds but also great for those digger/truck kids.
A cute book for teaching children the meaning of traffic light colors.
I LOVE THIS BOOK. Mom doesn't, she thinks it is silly, but it is my favorite and I would make her read it 3 times every night if I could. I found it one day on the shelf when mom made me pick out a new book instead of reading the Santa book again. Then for a while every night I ask for "the truck book" and mom tries to tell me this book isn't really about trucks but I don't care. I even slept with it sometimes.I like to yell GO GO GO! and STOP! I can even point at the word GO before mom tells me...
This story is cute, and it's a great way to explain colors, words, and signs to kids. My son loved this one, mostly because it has cars in it.
Trucks, action words, the meaning of the words Stop and Go. This is a great early learning book. This was also one of my son's favorite books. He is almost 6 and only started talking 3 years ago. 'Go' was one of the first words he started saying and I know it is because this simple and engaging little book was read to him on repeat, night after night. I dusted it off and pulled it out to read to my 3 year old daughter tonight. I'm a little sad this had fallen off our rotation the last few years....
