Es muy simplon, para verlo con peques de 3 años pero los peques lo van a disfrutar mucho e interaccionar con las solapas. En cuanto vi que era de excavadoras sabia que lo iban a querer ver una y otra vez

We have the Norwegian edition. My daughter loves diggers, so this is a great book for her. She also loves looking for the cat inside the flaps!
Otherwise the book is okay. A few solid pages and flaps, a little text. The visuals seem to be a mix of simple illustrations while the diggers and stones look to be photos of toys. Looks a bit strange, but fine.

This is a great book to help children visually since it is a lift and look book. You can use the book as a counting activity as well. It is descriptive through pictures the job of a digger, so it could be used for professions as well.

Great tool for identifying objects within a text.
