If you know a child who is infatuated with trucks, diggers, and tractors, this is the perfect gift.Exciting fold-out panoramas show machinery at work--from giant excavators and monster trucks to enormous ships and flying machines.Single panels isolate the machines with easy-to-understand definitions (""An excavator digs big holes in the ground."") and captivating facts (""Maximum digging depth: 16 feet — the same as the height of a giraffe."").Organized by work environment (farm, building site, dock, etc.); this is a detailed resource children will love. Hardcover; large format, 28 thick pages.

Five year old grandson loves the book! While driving, we found tractors and loaders that were featured in the book, which made it more fun. Thanks for a neat book!

This book was a Christmas gift for my 4-year old son. While he seems to look at it occasionally, the book is written in a cartoonish rather than a technical manner and I don't think it contains as much detailed information as he would like. However it does contain some solid information on a variety of vehicles and is interesting to page through. Personally I wouldn't want to buy it again.

We sent this book to our grandson, aged 4 1/2. His mother reports that he really enjoys the book, and he looks at it and talks about it every day.
