Starting with ten mighty dump trucks, the book counts backwards using brightly-colored construction vehicles to illustrate the numbers. Obviously, this will be a hit with machine-crazy little folks. It's a good, solid counting book with a little twist at the end. Age 2-5.
Together me and my 6 year old son enjoyed reading this book. He was able to learn the basic concepts of math and reading. It was very fun and easy to read.
Another counting book. My four-year-old boy's favorite so far. How could it not be? It was a countdown of construction vehicles in a sandbox.
A good counting book with rhyming verse for machine-happy little people. Nice colorful illustrations.
The illustrations in this book are fantastic. A fun rhyming countdown book.
My son loves the trucks in this book. A good counting book.
nice counting book
I love the illustrations in this book and that the story ends in a sandbox. My girls 3 and 2 like looking at the pictures, listening to the rhyme and counting the different color machinery.
Of course he loves this construction truck counting book. What's not to love 10 different types of construction earthmovers moving through a construction site. The end has a cute twist.
What a surprise. This trip to the library my son chose a book about trucks. Again. At least this one has some rhytmic rhyme to it.

An absolute hit with my son that is adding additional heavy machinery to his knowledge and vocabulary.
Silas learned this book word for word. We love the drawings and the rhythm of the words.
This book counts down from 10 to 1 with a sandy surprise at the end. Great for toddlers.
