Product Description
How does a cement truck mix cement? How are garbage trucks emptied? These are just two of the questions curious children are likely to ask about the vehicles they see around them every day. Fortunately, for those of us who don't know everything (or anything!) about such topics, Dereck Radford has assembled an impressive variety of facts about building machines. The brief text and realistically rendered machines—operated by bustling animal characters—are sure to capture the attention of truck fans everywhere.

Probably one of the best books we own! January 11, 2005

If you have a boy who loves building machines, this book is a definite must. There isn't a storyline in it - it's just full of building machines operated by Teddy bears, with descriptions of what they're doing, what the machines are used for, and how they actually work. They're cartoons, but it's so informative, that my little guy just loves knowing what all the machines do. He even knows what rebar is now! I can't say enough how neat this book is and what a great find it is too. My personal favorite is the underwater bulldozer. Who knew that existed?! A great, great book and something every little boy should own. I'm going back for more in this series!

Great pictures, simple text. We've taken this book out of the library so often, the library thinks we own it. Well...now we will!
