Perfect Book for Toddler Boy That LOVES Trucks & Machinery
I bought this book for my son for his 3rd birthday because he loves trucks and tractors so much. It is illustrated beautifully and fun to read. It's a very fun book to read out loud and each page is dedicated to one truck or machine. My son absolutely loves it! I would recommend for anyone with a little boy that loves trucks and tractors!

Needs a refrain
My 2 year old adores this book. I like the funky words, they are fun to say/sing. I find the bulldozer image sad but true. The words can be sung to "Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow" - in fact, I'm pretty sure that's where the authors borrowed the rhythm. However, it would be nice if there was a refrain.

Best book ever!
My 18-month-old loves this book. Fabulous illustrations, excellent writing. My son especiallly likes the alliteration and repitition. For example: "dig dig digging.." "scoop scoop scooping." A great addition to our library.

So So
This author chose a wierd selection of words to describe some of the sounds that the machines make. I don't like to read it because it reads wierd but my 2yr old son likes it alright. It is not his favorite either. The good thing it does teach is the "ing" variances of words like dig, dig, digging and squelch, squelch, squelching. A the end of each description it says "and they can work all day". My son has caught on to this usage of words so he has learned something from it.

One of our favorites
Our 2 year old son loves this book. It's the first book he reaches for before he goes to sleep. We read it every night. The pictures are bold and bright and there's lots for our son to learn and to talk about for each piece of equipment. This is a great addition to a toddler boy's bookshelf.

Wonderful book
This is a wonderful book. My boys want to read it multiple times each day. Even when I'm not reading to him, my younger son sits and just flips through the pages, looking at the pictures. It is a definite hit in our house!

Kids will dig this book
Reviewed by Oliver (child guest reviewer) from England

I like everything about this book as it has every type of machine I can think of. It's a boy's book.

Lots of the machines look like my real toys. I love the tractor digging the field over, and I imagine this is what my field will be like when I'm a vet, because vets need tractors to get to the sick animals.

This book is so much fun because the machines are doing real jobs, just like I see when I go to different places. I can find out how they work and what they do, which makes me think about what I would like to do when I'm big.

There's lots of rhyming in the book, which makes it easy for me to read. In fact I can read it to Mummy and Daddy at nighttime now.

Armchair Interviews says: Wonderful story book for boys, and girls who like big machines that do stuff.

My one year old LOVES this book
My son(12 months) loves this book. He carries it around the house and screams "DIG DIG!!!!" We read this book at least 3 times a day. Our 3 year old likes it too, but it really seems to appeal more to younger children who enjoy the rhythm and don't mind that there's not really a story to it.

Fun book for toddlers!
My little guy has loved this book for years, and I was thrilled to see that it was now available as a board book. The pictures are great, and little ones love the repetition of the last line on each page, "It can work all day!"

repeated readings
My grandson loves this book! He asks for it to be read and re-read several times each day. He has memorized almost every page. It is great for any child that loves construction.
