This is great for young readers who will enjoy listening to and making the animal sounds along with the story. Another feature carried across books is the use of sounds, such as the Beep! for Blue and the noises that the animals make. The book is told in rhyme as per the usual Little Blue style, and it has such a great rhythm that it rolls off the tongue and is both fun to read and to listen to. This is a simple story but one that will resonate with children who are learning to make new friends themselves - with a lesson that kindness is the best way! Although the animals are afraid, they soon learn that there is nothing to fear, and children are sure to giggle at their silly attempts to hide. Little Blue is more than happy to welcome the new neighbor with open arms, a great lesson for little ones who will meet plenty of new people in their classes and even in their neighborhoods.

What I loved: This is such a charming and sweet story about making friends and meeting someone new - who may seem different in one way or another from you. Chuck is glad to meet new friends, and the other animals all follow Blue's lead to say hello and meet a new friend. When they all arrive, the animals do their best to hide, but Little Blue says hello and welcomes the new neighbor, Chuck, a woodchuck.

Little Blue seems to know what to do, and brings the animals along. They are surprised by the new neighbor, who does not look quite like any of them. Little Blue Truck and Toad are driving along when the other animals come running to tell them about someone new who has moved in up the road. Luckily, Blue knows just the thing to help his friends, old and new, feel at home!
