Hawk with his Little Blue Truck set!

Our home has been brimming with sounds from Alice Schertle's children's book Little Blue Truck.  Mr. T and Hawk are big fans!  For Christmas, I took a large round decoupage shirt box and began painting it copying Jill McElmurry's gorgeous Illustrations.  I didn't come close to her work - but at least at this age - it didn't really matter to the boys!  Craig went about finding a blue truck and dump truck and animals to put in the box.  We found all of the animals, unfortunately - I couldn't find them all for this photo!

I loved that everything that recreates this book is contained within the box.  Around the outside of the box I painted the words from the first page Horn went beep.  Engine purred.  Friendliest sound you ever heard!  It would be fun to see what other books we could put together. 




I am hoping that this will be something the boys can keep and pass on to their children.  Let's hope that it makes it that far!
