What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a straightforward, factual photo book about machinery.
Ideal Reader
A toddler or preschooler, typically aged 1 to 4, who is obsessed with vehicles and construction sites. This is for the child who stops in their tracks to watch a backhoe dig, who can name more types of trucks than animals, and who loves making vroom and beep sounds. It is a perfect lap-read for a child with a burgeoning interest in how things work.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is self-explanatory. A parent might want to think of some simple sounds or actions to go with each vehicle to make the reading more interactive, but it can absolutely be read cold. The parent has noticed their child is captivated by construction sites on walks or car rides. The child points and exclaims "Truck!" or "Digger!" at every opportunity. The parent is looking for a simple, durable book to channel that interest and build their child's vocabulary.
