Synopsis
Kids love trucks and diggers, and with the help of full color photographs featuring rugged Caterpillar machines, these budding little contractors will love learning counting, too!
Marilyn Courtot - Children's Literature
Learn to count with a variety of utility vehicles from the Caterpillar Corporation (and they do have the manufacturer's name prominently displayed). The text opens with "One post-hole digger." And ends with "Ten big trucks and diggers ready to go!" The illustrations are photographs of all of these vehicles. Each scene also has a wide border with yellow diamonds (like the road signs) and they equate to the number that is being presented. It is a good way to reinforce number recognition and recounting the diamonds on each page. There is lots of boy appeal in this board book. 2003, Chronicle, Ages 1 to 4.
