“I’ll get the decorations,” said Tall Orange, full of excitement. “Be careful!” warned Strong Green. “It’s starting to snow.” But unfortunately, Tall Orange does not heed Strong Green’s advice. In her haste, she slips on the fresh snow and smashes the Christmas decorations. How will the team decorate their Christmas tree now? And, more importantly, how will Tall Orange’s friends react to her clumsiness? In this heartwarming tale, young readers (and their parents!) will be thrilled to see the true Christmas spirit shine through as friendship and forgiveness win the day. The Little Blue Digger books are a series of beautifully illustrated construction site stories for 2 – 5 year olds. They will particularly appeal to young fans of construction site vehicles who love to watch the different diggers and trucks at work! Readers will get to know Little Blue (a very little excavator), Big Yellow (a slightly stern backhoe), Strong Green (a gruff bulldozer), Tall Orange (a wobbly crane) and Wide Red (a hard-working dump truck). Fun and entertaining stories for children and parents to enjoy together, The Little Blue Digger books also carry gentle and important messages of friendship, inclusion and acceptance of differences. They are perfect for reading aloud at bedtime! Illustrations The characters in The Little Blue Digger series are brought to life by illustrator, Branislav Gapic, who gives each of the vehicles its own charming personality. Branislav starts by drawing and coloring the pictures by hand and then he filters them in Photoshop to achieve a unique, child-friendly style. Intended for young readers, the pictures are simple and colorful, but they also contain additional fun details that will amuse young children and encourage discussion. See if you can spot the grumpy traffic cone that just had a rock bounce off his head in The Little Blue Digger or the hydrant who is so cold he can only spurt ice cubes in The Little Blue Digger and the Christmas Tree! About The Author Harriet Tuppen recently left her corporate role to work from home and spend more time with her three children. Having a little more time on her hands (though not nearly as much as she'd expected!), she thought it would be fun and meaningful to write a book for her littlest one's 3rd birthday. What does little Oliver like...? Diggers...check! Anything blue...check! And so The Little Blue Digger series was conceived. Harriet really hopes that you enjoy reading The Little Blue Digger stories with your young reader(s) as much as she enjoys reading them with Oliver and his sisters. She has found creating her first two picture books for kids such a rewarding task that she is already planning several more…!

Little Blue Digger is a HUGE hit at our house. My 3 year old son asks for this book over and over and over and over... you get the idea! The illustrations are bright and cute. The story line is great too. I felt that it did a great job of teaching young kids empathy. My little guy picked up on the message all by himself. Great book. I recommend it to anyone with little ones who love cars, trucks, and machinery!UPDATE: 3 weeks later and my little guys STILL asks for this book every single night before bed!

I panic when my brother asked me to take good care of my nephew because he needs to go to work for an emergency task. I really don't know what to do, as soon as I saw this book I immediately purchased it. It was a surprise that my nephew really love this book while reading it to him, he keeps on smiling and pointing out the pictures on my phone. This book has saved me!

Another great story about working together and finding the best in a situation.The crew is getting ready for Christmas when things go a bit awry. Picking out a tree and decorating it seems easy enough, but then Tall Oranges gets excited creating a big mess. Luckily Little Blue figures out just what to do and before long everyone is on their best behavior as they enjoy each others company.A fun story with exciting illustrations. I can see Little Blue and his friends keeping kids excited about reading their bedtime story for days, weeks , maybe more.

This is a cute and fun Christmas story for little ones, which will be particularly popular with the many small kids who love construction site diggers! The pictures are delightful, with lots of fun extra details, and the text is short and simple to follow. I loved that the story also had a warm and friendly message, about working together to fix things, forgiving others, and making sure you remember how valuable your friends are. These are definitely the friendliest bunch of diggers I have met, and Little Blue may be the smallest, but he's clearly got a big heart.

A very cute Christmas book for young kids! The art is lovely hand-drawn artwork, the language is simple enough for even very young kids to understand, and there are small touches throughout the book that my kids really enjoyed.

My 5 year old son really enjoyed this one. He liked the combination of the Christmas story and that the characters were all cars or other vehicles. It's perfect for kids who love their cars, trucks, etc. He said it taught him not to get angry at others when they accidentally make a mistake. It's great to hear that a book actually helps teach him a lesson that he can apply to his own life.

This story came at the perfect time, because I'm trying to teaching them to share and work as a team. Right now they need to work on that. A lot! This book has a really nice message about sharing, working as a team, and forgiving others. My dogs and I also enjoyed the very lovely illustrations. We'll be keeping this one handy for reading again.

This is a really cute Christmas story, especially for those who love construction equipment. The story is about a bunch of construction diggers who decide to decorate a Christmas tree but unfortunately something happens. Once the gang decides to work together and all be happy, things get better and there is happy ending. the illustrations are very colorful and there is a lot to look at throughout the book. Children, especially those who love construction and trucks will love this story.
