Synopsis

Move the sliders back and forth in this unique sound book to hear the building site come to life. From noisy diggers and clanking cranes to forklift trucks and road-rollers, the charmingly illustrated scenes are full of busy vehicles. Each slider has two different sounds on it - move it one way to see and hear one vehicle, then move it back again to hear a different one.

Reviews

RUUMBLE! is our first Usborne Slider Sound Book in this house and the other books in this series are now firm favourites of mine to gift to friends and family with little ones! There is a tab to slide on each page that will activate two different sounds to accompany the text. For example, on the first page, we slide the tab to the left for the rumble of the bulldozer and then slide the tab to the right for a clattering sound as the grabber comes to scoop up the rubble.


I would highly recommend using these in the home and in any early years setting as a prompt for vehicle and construction role-play. I would have this book perched on a shelf in the construction area outside or, as we have at home, next to my little one’s diggers and trucks. This book can then be used as a tool to encourage children to make the different sounds of the vehicles they are playing with. We know how important it is for children to be able to successfully map their mouths in preparation for phonics and consciously making different sounds lends itself greatly to encouraging this skill!


As a toddler mum what I really appreciate about this series is that, should the book be left 'on', it will beep and go into a standby mode to save the battery and will need turning off and back on again to begin making sounds again on the next read. Thank you, Usborne! My daughter's favourite thing to do at the moment is pretend to be a dog so 'Woof!' is next on our list. Other books in this new and exciting series include Vroom!, Roarr! and Moo!.
