Bouncy repetitive rhymes with large， colorful illustrations describe the busy day for ten hardworking vehicles。 The double page spreads show the vehicles in action: diggers scooping， fire engine racing with bright lights flashing， garbage trucks gobbling and crunching， helicopters hovering and zooming， and more。 This is a useful book to use for units on community helpers as well as just a fun book to read out loud。

This book is about the vehicles for people who help us。 The book takes place in different environments that vehicles can be found in。 this book could be used in a lesson about vehicles or people who help us， as this can be taken in greater depth to then find out about different types of transportation。 This book is written and illustrated by Margaret Mayo & Alex Ayliffe。 This book can support all children’s levels of development as children can learn about different vehicles （some of which are n This book is about the vehicles for people who help us。 The book takes place in different environments that vehicles can be found in。 this book could be used in a lesson about vehicles or people who help us， as this can be taken in greater depth to then find out about different types of transportation。 This book is written and illustrated by Margaret Mayo & Alex Ayliffe。 This book can support all children’s levels of development as children can learn about different vehicles （some of which are not used every day） and how they help us。 This can be useful as children with low attainment may be able to recognise the person who helps us or the vehicle from the picture。 Children with middle attainment may be able to recognise and say the name of the person that helps us or the vehicle that is driven and children with higher attainment may be able to recognise， name and tell the class or a peer where these vehicles are usually found。 Children can get involved by sharing what they know and having parent/s come in to share their profession， what they do and what vehicle they drive （if they drive one。） 。。。more

Great rhythmic story for young toddlers。 I’ve been reading this one to my children for years and they still enjoy it。 It features favorite working vehicles going about their daily work。 Each page follows a familiar pattern so kids can join in with the final phrase on each page， which is great for involvement。

Genre: Children's FictionGrades: K-1This is a great book for action and descriptive words！ It becomes predictable reading for the students and even has a little bit of rhyming。 Genre: Children's FictionGrades: K-1This is a great book for action and descriptive words！ It becomes predictable reading for the students and even has a little bit of rhyming。 。。。more

Great read for young children focusing on different vehicles and what they do。 Children love this and love exploring the different pictures as they are so colourful and have a lot going on to form a discussion。

Very few women featured driving/working。 Also wish there were more than three shades of people。 How hard would it have been to include more variety？ It's honestly lazy。 I wish the text was interesting enough that those problems aren't a big deal。 All in all a solid pass。 Very few women featured driving/working。 Also wish there were more than three shades of people。 How hard would it have been to include more variety？ It's honestly lazy。 I wish the text was interesting enough that those problems aren't a big deal。 All in all a solid pass。 。。。more

Great for young children who are curious about moving things， cars， trucks， big machines。 Great illustrations。 Will look for more by this author。 Good for preschool and early elementary。

Miss 3 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library， sometimes around particular topics or themes。 We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors。Miss 3 didn't like it。 We ended up with two Margaret Mayo picture books out at the same time and she wasn't interested in either of them。 The pictures must have attracted her a little when she grabbed them off the shelves but she found th Miss 3 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library， sometimes around particular topics or themes。 We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors。Miss 3 didn't like it。 We ended up with two Margaret Mayo picture books out at the same time and she wasn't interested in either of them。 The pictures must have attracted her a little when she grabbed them off the shelves but she found the text boring。 。。。more

Fantastic book， especially for those children who are really interested in cars and trucks！Lot's of opportunity for repetition for the children to join in。 A really fun and interesting book to read in the early years。 Fantastic book， especially for those children who are really interested in cars and trucks！Lot's of opportunity for repetition for the children to join in。 A really fun and interesting book to read in the early years。 。。。more

Mayo， Margaret。 Dig Dig Digging， illustrated by Alex Ayliffe。 Henry Holt， 2006。 $6。99。 BOARD BOOK。Author， Margaret Mayo， cleverly uses word repetition to explain the different jobs of trucks， tractors， diggers， and bulldozers。 For example， “Tractors are good at pull pull pulling。” The illustrations are colorful and detailed; but what really makes this board book shine is the mini-tabs around the top and the side of the book。 Little fingers love to use tabs。 And little eyes love bright colors and Mayo， Margaret。 Dig Dig Digging， illustrated by Alex Ayliffe。 Henry Holt， 2006。 $6。99。 BOARD BOOK。Author， Margaret Mayo， cleverly uses word repetition to explain the different jobs of trucks， tractors， diggers， and bulldozers。 For example， “Tractors are good at pull pull pulling。” The illustrations are colorful and detailed; but what really makes this board book shine is the mini-tabs around the top and the side of the book。 Little fingers love to use tabs。 And little eyes love bright colors and different text sizes。 Pre-K-ESSENTIAL。 Samantha Hastings， MA， MLS。https://kissthebook。blogspot。com/2017。。。 。。。more

Great way to introduce the vocabulary words my 8-month son will one day ask。 Enough repetition to keep the pages turnin' like the caterpillar wheels。 Great way to introduce the vocabulary words my 8-month son will one day ask。 Enough repetition to keep the pages turnin' like the caterpillar wheels。 。。。more

With small， sturdy tabs on various spots of this very small board book， young readers will be able to navigate its contents quickly while listening to another reader read it to them or reading it for themselves。 Each page features some vehicle such as a garbage truck or a dump truck and describes what it does。 What I loved about the book was the use of vivid words such as "gobble， gobble， gobbling" （unpaged） and "grip， grip， gripping" （unpaged） to describe the actions of the moving machines feat With small， sturdy tabs on various spots of this very small board book， young readers will be able to navigate its contents quickly while listening to another reader read it to them or reading it for themselves。 Each page features some vehicle such as a garbage truck or a dump truck and describes what it does。 What I loved about the book was the use of vivid words such as "gobble， gobble， gobbling" （unpaged） and "grip， grip， gripping" （unpaged） to describe the actions of the moving machines featured in the book。 But beware: this is not a quiet book intended for bedtime reading。 It is sure to get the listener or reader all revved up and ready to do some digging and moving of his/her own。 The book was originally published in England， and it is great to have it in this particular format。 I cannot imagine any child being able to resist this book。 。。。more

My son absolutely loves this book。 It was on the shelves in a holiday cottage in Wales and he read it so much that the owners gifted it to him。 The repetitious nature of the book has helped him pick up some new words and as we sign it together he is developing there too。 Brilliant！

I had to read it twice in a row to a 2 year old and a 4 year old and they both got something out of it。 Good for the pre-reader with the rhyming and repetition。

fun to read， I wouldn't mind reading it over and over。 repetition of sounds and phrases is nice， but not so much that it is annoying to read。 cute illustrations also。 I notice fine petiole mention 'touch and feel' with reference to this book。。。 the edition we got from the library doesn't have that， but I would be interested in such a version。 fun to read， I wouldn't mind reading it over and over。 repetition of sounds and phrases is nice， but not so much that it is annoying to read。 cute illustrations also。 I notice fine petiole mention 'touch and feel' with reference to this book。。。 the edition we got from the library doesn't have that， but I would be interested in such a version。 。。。more

Really fun to read aloud - has a great rhythm， and my toddler joined in after only a few reads。 He loves the variety of vehicles， I love the length - relatively short and sweet， perfect for one of his before-bed reads。

A children's book about different modes of transportation。 Text can be modified as "poetry/songs" that would be fun to orate。 A children's book about different modes of transportation。 Text can be modified as "poetry/songs" that would be fun to orate。 。。。more

A current favorite of my son。 Stands up to multiple readings。 Further fueled his love of vehicles that do stuff。

I read this with a two-year-old。 We re-read the first page alone at least a dozen times。 I think that means he liked it。 :-）

My son adored this book！ He is about to turn 4， so we do not read it as often now， but it had been a very regular read。 Description for various vehicles （lorries， dumper trucks etc） have a rhythmic rhyme that your toddler will likely say aloud with you in no time。Firm recommendation for 2+

Cute story。 I like how every page ends with "They can work all day" because my two year old repeats that line every time！ Cute story。 I like how every page ends with "They can work all day" because my two year old repeats that line every time！ 。。。more
