Reviews
I started my son with Ed Emberley's Truck and Train book when my son was 4. He loved it! And then started asking me for this one because it's advertised on the back. He is now 5 and I knew he would make good use of it. There are a lot more drawings crammed in this one and the pictures are smaller. So if you have a younger child, I'd recommend starting with another book, because the drawings are so tiny and they'll get distracted by all the other things on the page. This book has about 20 drawings per every 2 pages, whereas our Truck and Train book has about 5 drawings per every 2 pages. He does sometimes ask for help in figuring out a more complex item, but for the most part he is able to work out of the book independently. Interestingly, my 8 year old doesn't seem to get the teaching technique that is used in these books. So BEWARE, this book may flop with some kids. And I'll also note that my 8 year old doesn't seem to like any drawing books, even ones that do make sense to him. He likes to draw, but wants to do things his own way, which, of course, is fine by me. I also have some difficulty with Emberley's style and find it confusing and visually distracting, but as I look at it more and more, I have sort of become used to it and can more easily process the style. But my youngest took right to it and it has provided him hours and hours of entertainment. It has also improved the quality and content of his drawings, which now includes lots of details and plenty of creativity.
