Great Book for Toddlers

We've borrowed this book from the library so many times, I gave in and finally bought our own copy. My 19 month old son loves this book and reads it several times a day. Its the first book he has actually taken a interest in. I like the fact it has real pictures of the machines instead of drawings and that it has few words -- perfect for the attention span of a toddler.

My toddler wants to read it again and again!

This is an excellent book for your toddler. It has been my 17-month-old's favorite book for 3 months in a row! He can't get enough of the construction vehicles. And, now, he and I both get excited when we see a "rubber-tired backhoe" out on the road!

Construction Zone Obsession

Construction Zone is the first "truck book" that I purchased for my son. I bought it for him when he was about 15 months. It is by far his favorite book. I need to purchase another one because the pages have been taped so many times. The only problem that I would have with the book is the quality of paper. It's not really sturdy for the age group that reads it. But I also should consider the HEAVY use that our copy receives. The photographs in it are perfect and it names each piece of equipment. It's a very basic book that shows all the basic construction equipment along with a garbage truck. I think it is a fine purchase.

Actual photographs of the construction stuff your kids love

My son loves trucks (he's 15 mos. old) and he loves this book. It is his favorite. Definitely buy it for your little truck lover too (whenever my son sees a bulldozer, he now says "bull" after reading this book over and over!).
