review 1: Digger, Dozer, DumperThis book talked about and described various trucks including the street sweeper, garbage truck, dump truck, backhoe, skid-steer loader, excavator, bulldozer, cement mixer, fire truck, ambulance, cherry picker, tow truck, steamroller, forklift, semi, and snowplow. I can pair this book with Truck Stuck by Sallie Wolf. In this book, a truck gets stuck under a viaduct and holds up many vehicles behind it. Some of the vehicles mentioned in the traffic jam include the excavator, street sweeper, and tow truck. It would be very easy to make connections between the two books. I could read Truck Stuck and then read Digger, Dozer, Dumper since this book provides explanations of what certain trucks do.
review 2: As a mom of three boys who are obsessed... more with all kinds of trucks and construction equipment, this book has been a favorite in our home library. The book has multiple poems about various types of vehicles from street sweepers, garbage trucks, dump trucks, firetrucks and cement mixers. Each poem is paired with color illustrations showing how they work captivating my sons attention.I would recommend this book for young children in the classroom or at home. It is a wonderful book to just simply entertain them as well as teach them about what vehicles do. Tow Truck Out of gas? In a ditch? Crashed and don't know which end's which? Bent your fender? Lost your way? Tow trucks here to save the day. She's got wrenches, she's got tires,jumper cables, extra wires, a winding winch to tug and tow and lots of horsepower....off you go! less
