There's just something about a construction site and the machines that can be found there that fascinates youngsters. This one with its layered die-cuts gives them the opportunity to identify the parts of a digger and follow it as it goes to work. Tidbits of interesting information are provided on each double-page spread as well as in a "Did You Know?" feature. If someone is unfamiliar with a digger, they'll be quite impressed with it after reading this sturdy board book. After all, who wouldn't prefer to have the digger do the same work that it would take 20 individuals to do? This one makes a great addition for a preschool classroom or home library since it provides different features that other books on a similar topic.

This is such a fun board book! It's got cut-outs on each page, so as you move through the book, more of the inner workings of the digger are exposed. The amount of text is also just perfect for the youngest readers. Not too much, not too little. We got this one from the library and Davy loves it so much he's been literally sleeping with it.

This board book is one adults should enjoy reading to their child. It cleverly uses cutouts to illustrate different parts of the digging machine, giving depth and interest without sacrificing the sturdiness of the book. It includes lots of facts at a good look at everyone's favorite machine.

SPOILERS: a digger is about the same weight as 20 elephants I guess.
