School Library Journal

Starred Review
Extensive use of action verbs and onomatopoeic exclamations... dynamic.

Publishers Weekly

Exuberant.

Kirkus

A truck-lover's dream come true -- repetition, rhyme and onomatopoeia -- perfect for read-alouds, it will be a hit whether shared with a group or one-on-one.

ALA/Booklist

The words pound with the sound and rhythm of the vehicles they describe, and preschoolers will delight in shouting out the noisy exclamations.
