The illustrations shine in this adorable picture book which is sure to be a big hit with my sons. The rhyming is well done also. I recommend this for boys aged 2-5. Thanks for the copy

LOVE right alongside my 4-year-old son! The rhyming, the bright illustrations, the vivid vocabulary… what was NOT to like?! I adored the way that the monsters were all different, despite all being monsters. The rhyming on each page + the rhymes that tied page spreads together allowed for my son to be exposed to a variety of patterning in words. Along with that, the vivid vocabulary led to some great conversations with my son (kooky, grin, bore, prickly) and allowed for us to be silly together.

Very grateful for the chance to review this story. It’s one that’s been added to our to-buy list when it has published! Thank you for the opportunity!

I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher.
As the title states, the book is about monsters in trucks. It is filled with rhymes to introduce the reader to various monsters as they go about their day. The end introduces a finding element for each page. This is a good book for younger readers and pre-readers.

This is a vibrant, bright and playful book filled with whacky monsters that are packed in trucks everywhere. The book is a perfect read aloud that allows preschoolers and early readers to build up their reading vocabulary and their confidence.

There is so much to take in on each page. The gentle flowing rhyme of the text is sure to be a big hit with its readers too. The illustrations are jammed full of activity and fun and the positive up-beat vibe of the book is contagious. This entertaining and engaging book will have kids coming back again and again making "Monsters in Trucks" ( Monsters Everywhere, 1 ) their favourite. Be sure to keep an eye out for hidden ladybugs too! That is a fun component that the talented illustrated has added.

I love the busyness of the book and I highly recommend it!

Oh my gosh, what’s not to love about this? My kids are already asking for their own copy!

Doesn’t every young child enjoy monsters, trucks, and bright colors? This would be a great book for preschoolers through elementary ages. The illustrations are top notch!

As a teacher, this book could do so many things. Younger grades will enjoy the the monsters, trucks, and rhyming, while older kids could learn about adjectives! It would even be great for modeling how authors use adjectives to help the reader visualize the text. My teacher brain is always looking at what I can do with a book and this one did disappoint.

P.S love the surprise at the end. 🤭

A fun book for monster and vehicle lovers alike. Cute little "can you find" at the end. I was surprised at how long it was, it felt like it could have been shortened a bit, but wasn't too terrible.

what a really fun book with fun illustrations!! it doesn't really have plot, just showing different kind of monsters in truck and the things they do. I think it would be more fun if this book was made into a song. It also have a surprise at the end that made me immediately want to flip the book again from the beginning.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for allowing me to be an early reader. All opinions are my own.

A super fun and colorful children's book about monsters in trucks. My boys love both so of course they were huge fans of this book. I love the bright and bold colors. The last page has a fun extra activity asking if you can spot a ladybug in every scene. So we immediately reread to find the ladybugs. The illustrations had Richard Scarry vibes!

This is a perfect book for classrooms and early readers.

I absolutely love this book. Some of the words are hard to find because there's just so much on each page, but the illustrations really drew me in and I will definitely be purchasing this book!

This book is absolutely adorable and I will be buying if for my grandsons when it publishes! We read ebook together and they loved all the different vehicles that were featured.

The best part was the end where we were asked to find a ladybug on each page. They loved going back though the book to find out.

This book is the cutest! The drawings, whimsical and cute drawings make this book super adorable! Of course, the short story is cute also, but the drawings really set the mood here! Kids love all kinds of little monsters, and cute little monsters that fill every page of this book make this a special and fun read! Also, you can absolutely use the little monsters to name emotions. Each monster has a different facial expression. For added fun, you can try guessing what each monster does when they are not doing their monster activities with trucks and find your favorite monster on each page.

This book is absolutely adorable. My two year olds love it. It have lots of fun things on each page to look at. They love to hunt and find so this was a hit. They also like friendly monsters so this book was a winner over here.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A fun, colorful book about monsters in trucks. I did feel that the book was too long.

Bright colors and busy artwork. Very overwhelming for me as a reader, but I'm also not the target audience. I think this book will work well for any child obsessed with trucks.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC!. This was an adorable story for monster and vehicle loving readers. The illustrations are bright and colorful which makes it very appealing for younger readers. I enjoyed the rhyming throughout the book and I think this is a great intriduction to rhyming for young readers. Going back and finding the ladybug in every page was fun too- a bonus surprise!
