review 1: Diggers, dump, garbage, monster, fire trucks, cranes, and other large vehicles are personified in this bedtime story. Written almost entirely in rhyming questions, each two page spread ponders where each of the pieces of machinery sleeps at night. One of my favorites is the tractor, "Where do tractors sleep at night after plowing all day long? Do their dads sing "Old TruckDonald" for a barnyard bedtime song?" The car transporter page is a little misleading, I think. It shows a picture of a car transporter loaded with cars. After asking where the car transporter sleeps it then asks, "Do they tell those cars a story as they sleep beneath the stars?" The issue I have with the illustrations is the car transporter is wide-eyed and appears to be driving down a highway. If we are... more being asked where the car transporter sleeps, then why is it awake, let alone driving down the highway?This is a cute book (the board book version was used for reviewing purposes) and will be enjoyed by children who love large vehicles and machinery. However, if you want a great bedtime story with construction machinery, I would look to Sherri Duskey Rinker's Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site.
review 2: This book does a good job of engaging the children in bedtime activities. It looks at all different types of cars and trucks and asks the question, where do they sleep at night? Are they tucked in by their mother’s? Do they have a favorite blanket? It was a very cute book with colorful illustrations of cars and trucks that look like people with eyes and mouths. It is easy for the children to relate to them. The ending was very cute and all the toys are in the toy box when the little boy is being tucked into bed by his mother.The book is more geared toward boys because its main characters are trucks but Lilly still liked it. I think that both boys and girls between 2-4 will enjoy this book.Lilly and I give Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night 3½ Stars. less
