All the wonderful machines that fascinate kids are featured in this book -- bulldozers, front-loaders, big shovels, backhoes, etc. -- each explained in a clear and entertaining style. Splendid illustrations fill every page, and are the gems that set this book apart from others, elevating it to the status of a classic. The pictures are chock-full of delightful details -- from little, surprised worms wiggling in dirt scooped by the bucket of a front-loader to a huge, snorting bull on the front of a "bull"dozer to a score of tiny turtles crewing a submarine. Every illustration totally enthralled my three-and-a-half year old grandson, who returned again and again to the book to study the pictures, for there is such rich detail in each that one cannot possibly see everything at the first reading. This is a book whose memory a child will always cherish. It is a book that parents might buy for their child, knowing it may well be saved, and someday passed on to the next generation as a special gift.
