My 2 year old is absolutely obsessed with Blaze! This book has a bit too many words for a 2 year old so my 5 year old seems to be more suited for this book. But still, very happy that I bought this book as my 2 year old still loves seeing the pictures. I have to abbreviate the paragraphs to keep his attention.

Small but doable.

This book is an introduction to the characters and STEM/physics concepts from the eponymous television series, and not a story. So if you're looking for something with a plot, this won't fit the bill. I gleaned that from reading the reviews, but I took a chance since my daughter loves Blaze.The book is pricier than most books from this publisher, but the binding and paper quality is better. Again, the book has no narrative, but it does present the STEM concepts within context of the action of the show and its character's abilities. Given the lack of actual story, I wasn't expecting this to be as popular as it is in our house, but my daughter has begged me to read this multiple times in succession during one story session. Since the book does explain concepts like mass, force, and trajectory in side bars, you can use the book to quiz your child, if you're into that (we are). It's not a book you would read for its fun-value, but it is surprisingly appealing to my preschooler, who loves Blaze and his friends. This is one of those books that reminds me how much the Pre-K set love repetition, and that what seems boring to an adult can still be immensely enjoyable for kids.

Made an amazing gift

My boy loves blaze. So he was excited to read the book and was able to read it on his own with no help from us (mom or dad)

My 2 yo son love the show and this book. It has physics facts and monster trucks of course. He loved it.

My kids like Blaze so they listened to the story...mostly. The book is wordy and even I got a little bored, maybe because I'm used to reading my kids pretty simple books - they're 2. It read much like the cartoon sounds instead of being a fun story.

It’s exactly like one of the episodes, which is really cool to read and then recognize the story when it comes on!

My little boy loves Blaze - and this is now his new favourite book (so much so, it might need to go missing for a while!) It's cute, but reading the same book over and over can be tedious! Luckily it's quite short story so good for nap times.

Dal titolo del libro ci si aspetterebbe che racconti una o più storie di Blaze, invece c'è solo la descrizione dei personaggi principali, senza neanche mezza storia. Lo si può leggere un paio di volte forse, poi ci si stufa...

Got this for my sons birthday as he’s Blaze mad. It’s a great little book!

Bought this for our Grand-son who loves Baze it is a good big book ,Quality is as expected from Golden book and this is bigger than the normal size Golden book,would definatly recommend it
