I got this book for my 5 year old grandson whose daddy is an electrician for cranes. He will be able to learn the words and enjoy the photos of real cranes and share the book with his dad. The only thing I wonder about is why is selling such small-sized paperback books? The books all used to be much larger. Now they are about 4 or 5 inch square. The kids don't seem to mind though!
