• Stickers Not Really Reusable But Otherwise Excellent 25 October, 2002
This book is a truck themed book which is one of many published by Grosset & Dunlap.There are 7 2-page spreads, which consist of background for placing the stickers. Each spread has a few sentences to tell a story or act as a guide for the sticker placement. The backgrounds are creative and well done. There are backgrounds of city streets, gas station, construction site, forest/logging site, suburban snow scene, a city building fire and a supermarket parking lot. Stickers depict construction vehicles, pickup trucks, campers, delivery trucks, logging trucks, and fire vehicles.The stickers are billed as "reusable". The stickers stick very well the first time around. A bonus "pro" is since they are "reusable" stickers, if they are accidentally stuck onto floors, walls, or furniture they remove easily and effortlessly. The "con" is that (after using 5 different books in this series and having this consistent in every book) I must say that once a sticker is peeled and placed in a different spot, it does not lie flat. The sticker curls at the edges and is a mess. This has frustrated and annoyed both of my children and I don't like activities that are supposed to be fun to end up causing tantrums and frustration--especially when it is caused by "false claims" by the publisher of the stickers being reusable! Also in the sticker removing process, they tend to tear, especially if the shape of the sticker has protruding parts or small pieces sticking out. The tearing occurs when I peel them as well as my young children. This tearing has resulted in tears and disaster-"my favorite space shuttle ripped---AAGHHH!" The graphics themselves are high quality and I am happy with the book graphics and the sticker graphics. There are 75 stickers. If one were to buy 75 single use stickers of a theme without a book, the price would be higher than the price of this book with the stickers. I like the book and the stickers except for them being billed as "reusable" when they really are not. I'll rate it 4 stars since I really like the product but wish the stickers were more reusable than they are. The low price also is appreciated. I did come up with an idea that once the stickers are shot, to discard them and you would end up with a blank book. You can then present this to your child and have them draw in the book using their imagination as a guide.

• A Good Selection Of Vehicles 05 March, 2004
I bought this for my 3-yr old cuz he just loves his vehicles. This one has a lot of vehicles to choose from, which is a plus. The book is well illustrated with colorful pages and short stories (a few sentences). You will need to be careful when peeling the stickers since depending on the shape of the vehicle, you can tear them, especially the long tankers and big hulls. This is not a good thing. First time using the sticker in the book is fine. But after a few tries, the ends will start to curl. It's even worse when my child decided to stick the stickers on other surfaces, which then desensitized the sticky side. But overall, it's money well spent. He's had it for several months now and he still enjoys playing and looking at it. Maybe one day soon, he'll learn to place the vehicles on the road instead of on the buildings and actually follow the story line.

• Better Than Most Of The Similar Books On The Market 19 July, 2008
we like this sticker book, as one of the review noted, the stickers are not really reusable, meaning you can reuse it, but it won't stick that well,,,it's also great to paint in this book, as there is a lot of empty space for that on the pages. i would purchase these as presents for 3 year olds.
