5.0 out of 5 stars For kids who can't get enough of construction trucks, November 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diggers and Dump Trucks (Eye Openers) (Hardcover)

My son received this as a Christmas gift when he was little over a year old. It has been one of the few books that he wants read to him time and time again. The pictures are realistic enough for a toddler to identify them and the wording brief enough to hold a toddler's attention span. The only drawback is the book is not a board book so some care must be given to survive ownership by a toddler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational and entertaining, February 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Diggers and Dump Trucks (Eye Openers) (Hardcover)

My son loves everything to do with planes,trains, and automobiles. I purchased this book while shopping and it was something my son picked up and I could not get him to put down. It is, however, one of the best truck books we own. Each page shows a large picture of a construction vehicle with an acurate description of what each vehicle does and which parts do what. There are also picture insets of certain important parts and each vehicle at work. My son usually has to take this book to bed and it keeps him entertained until I can get to him in the morning. If your son or daughter love trucks this is a definate "MUST HAVE"!

5.0 out of 5 stars A construction vehicle enthusiast's dream, January 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diggers and Dump Trucks (Eye Openers) (Hardcover)

My 3 year old loves this book. It's full of dump trucks, excavators, loaders, etc. Not only does it show all of the parts of each vehicle, but the top of the book also shows step-by-step how it moves & works. The illustrations are very detailed, yet simple enough for a toddler or pre-schooler.
