Customer Reviews

Color photos and simple text delight little diggers.

The full color photos and simple text in this book delight the little digger in our family. I like the way the author included a child in some of the photos so that readers can get a feel for how big some of these vehicles are. My son likes the glossary at the end of the book. It has a drawing of every type of vehicle in the book with the name underneath. He can spend hours comparing features of backhoes, excavators and bulldozers!
