My Big Book of Trucks and Diggers

December 1, 2011

PreS-K-This board book uses excellent photographs (with plenty of product placement) and minimal text to describe different types of heavy-duty Caterpillar machines. The simple format showcases a vehicle on the verso and displays various aspects of the vehicle, like the bucket, wheel, or blade, etc., on the opposite page. The bold colors and clear text enhance the presentation. Even though the terms are a bit challenging, the simplicity of the book and the sharp photographs will have youngsters very excited. A great purchase for all board-book collections or for libraries looking to add to their transportation and machinery books.-Lora Van Marel, Orland Park Public Library, IL
