Yellow Copter (Red Truck and Friends)

I bought this for my son. He is almost 3 years old and is obsessed with things that go. He loves this book! I couldn't find many books with a helicopter as the main character. It's a perfectly simple story with language he understands well. The helicopter is on every page, and my son also likes to find the bird that appears throughout the book. It's fun to do the sound effects with him, too! Great book! I will probably buy the other books in this series now.

My little daycare boy who loves vehicles, loves this book! He's only 1 and he says yellow copter, yellow copter when he is looking for this book to read. Then when he reads it to himself he says yellow copter on every page! Yes it is that endearing. Excellent illustrations too! I think we have all of the books from this series. They are worth it for your favorite vehicle loving kid! Plus it's a board book! So nice for toddlers!

My sister and I have been hunting for helicopter-themed books for her toddler, who lives near an airbase, sees them often, and is obsessed with them. He's okay with airplanes and firetrucks and whatnot, but he loves helicopters the most. I was really pleased to do a search and find this one. He loves it!Last weekend, I was helping to keep him occupied while my sister and brother-in-law did some stuff around the house that was too dangerous for an 18month old toddler to be underfoot. He started to get annoyed at not being let into the party, so I pulled out Yellow Copter. We read it four times in a row, then he "read" it to me, pointing out the pictures he liked and showing me the matching toys.The plot is ultra simple and the pictures move somewhat slowly, so it's really easy to embellish the story as you read and make up sound effects in addition to the ones on the page. I wasn't sure about the ferris wheel and Teacher being stuck on top, but my nephew understands "stuck" and "up high", and there's so many stories about fire trucks using their ladders, it seems to be okay. Over the next dozen or so times we read it together, he especially liked the pages with the pilot. (It just so happened that the following weekend, we took him to Disney World for the first time, and he is obsessed with going up high in Dumbo - just like the helicopter pilot, come to think of it.)I doubt my other nephew or niece would be nearly so taken with this book, but for our helicopter-obsessed kid, it's perfect.

I bought this book for my husband (a pilot) when we were expecting our first child based off of reviews that it mentioned helicopter parts as part of the story. (Tail boom, skids, rotor...) This book is my infant's favorite story, hands down! It's short and simple, but fun with great drawings. I wish Yellow Copter would have more adventures! So grateful to the other reviewers. We recommend this book as well!!

A friend of ours had this book out when I went over for a playdate with my eight months old daughter and I fell in love with it (ended up ordering it during the playdate via my phone app). My husband is a helicopter pilot so I'm always on the look out or helicopter themes toys and books. This is a super cute book with rhyming sentences that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a simple and fun book.

This whole series is the BEST. My nearly 2 year old loves books and these are all so good! All the sounds “whup whup whup” “weee” etc make it very entertaining and the illustrations are fantastically punchy! Blue boat, yellow helicopter and red truck would all make a great gift for any boys!!

Red Truck was the first book in the series we bought and all three of my boys have LOVED it. This one is good, but not as much of a favorite. It is better than Blue Boat. The plot is a bit weak and the rhymes aren't as well written. They don't stick in your head as well.

Our 16 month old won Red Truck at the library during a summer reading program and it quickly became his favorite book. Naturally we wanted to expand his collection and purchased Yellow Copter and Blue Boat. He enjoys finding the blue bird on each page that follow the copter. The amount of words on each page is perfect to keep a toddler's attention and will be less intimidating for a new reader when he gets there

She loves it! Quick read with good illustrations
