Customer Reviews

Gift for 3rd birthday

I bought this and the Demolition book by Caterpillar; my grandson loves them and has the text nearly memorized, and can identify the trucks and diggers by name. Definitely a hit, and the sound effects seem authentic.

Kids were thrilled

Read this book to a first grade class and they loved it! Would recommend it highly. Great photos and realistic sounds.

Diggers!

This is a great book for digger lovers! It has very realisic sounds and good photos. Both our kids love it!

authentic sounds

Perfect book for 18 months+. The sounds are very realistic. The signs are easy to follow, although the color of the signs in the book differ from the color of the 'noise' buttons. However, my 2-year-old grandson wasn't confused.

lots of fun for little truck enthusiasts

Our three-year old loves this book. Each spread features a full-page photograph of a big construction vehicle at work with text on the facing page. The wording is exciting, e.g. "Climb up in the cab and start your engine!" and interspersed throughout are symbols that correspond to pads at the right margin of the book. When your child presses the appropriate button, the story comes alive with the sound of a truck starting up, a horn, a digger scooping dirt, a backing-up beep or a jackhammer. The sounds are realistic and pretty clear. Your small truck devotee should really enjoy this exciting book.
