The best digger book since Colossal Earthmovers.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Earthmover Encyclopedia: The Complete Guide to Heavy Equipment of the World (Paperback)
We bought this for our son who _LOVES_ to read about and play with digging equipment. He started reading all the (deadly boring to those uninterested) details immediately and it held its own against his other birthday presents including LEGO. He would wax poetic, or at least enthusiastic, about the book, but I don't really want to listen anymore =)
