Why did Elizabeth's 2-year-old love this book?
He loves pointing at each different vehicle and repeating the names.
This book is often called the “trash car book” in our house when searching for bedtime stories because it has his very favorite garbage truck illustration; he’s nearly worn that page out by turning to it. The descriptions for each vehicle are short and clever, which makes it very fun to read (and Mom didn’t know half these trucks, so it’s informative for me too!).
1 author picked Digger, Dozer, Dumper as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it. This book is for kids age 2, 3, 4, and 5.
“Rising above the usual singsong name-checking, Vestergaard celebrates not only the jobs these machines perform but also their marvelous mechanics.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Sixteen boisterous, rhyming poems—each one highlighting the job and personality of a different vehicle, from a backhoe to an ambulance to a snowplow—introduce young children to their favorite trucks face-to-face. Cheerful illustrations show each one in action, digging (or dozing, or dumping) away. Each truck and big machine in these enticing rhyming poems is different, and little readers are invited to find a vehicle that’s like them.
