My kids loved these books. Now, as a writer and illustrator, I order my own copies to keep around for inspiration.
Funny and charming story that reminds me of the way my kids played and made up stories with their own toys! Mini Grey is a tremendous author who brings a fresh perspective on childhood imagination and adventure.
I am enjoying watching Traction Man's boy grow up, continuing to have marvelous adventures. I will be heartbroken when my son is too old for these and I have to buy these books on the sly. Hopefully, that is a long way off.
Beach time Brenda is obviously a stand in for Barbie, but I like her so much better. This is the third Traction man book, and I hope there will be more in the future! One person found this helpful. My 4 year old loves this story and it's fun to read! This is a great series for little boys.
My grandsons love it especially the first one. We got them very quickly.
Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. This was a fun series to read with the little ones. They really enjoyed the adventures of Traction Man and Scrubbing Brush. This book is random and odd and my husband and I think it's dumb But my two year old boy sits spellbound and even seems to have memorized parts of it. My kids adore the creativity of the Traction Man books!
