Age range 1 to 4

Sometimes kids - and little trucks - need to be reassured of a parent's love. In I Love You, Little Truck, Big Truck loves Little Truck with a full heart - but Little Truck can't help but wonder.

'Little Truck smiled, then it sank to a frown. "But what about times I might let you down? Like when I spill oil or get grease on the rugs. Even then, will you give me your kisses and hugs?"'

In a heartwarming exchange featuring favourite construction trucks, Big Truck shows how a parent's love overcomes oil spills, cement, and even the deepest of holes. Adorable illustrations from Natasha Mollins complement the simple, rhyming text to convey an endearing message that kids will want to hear - and feel - again and again.

A heartwarming I Love You book for kids who love trucks.

Thick, sturdy artcard and a protective, glossy coating ensures the book will last for many more readings!

'Sure to be a hit with young construction lovers, and comforting for any child worried about all those "What ifs." - School Library Journal

I Love You, Little Truck receives praise for its sweet, gentle rhymes that guide readers through Little Truck's bedtime routine. The narrative engages young readers by exploring imaginative "What if" scenarios, where Little Truck envisions itself as different construction vehicles facing potential troubles. The reassurance of unwavering love from Big Truck is highlighted as comforting, especially for children who express similar concerns.
