review 1: Using a construction-zone theme, this picture book explores the relationships between fathers and their children. For example, Big Excavator helps his child while they dig, Big Bulldozer shows his child right from wrong as they scoop, and Big Crane keeps his child safe as they reach up high.With its large font; simple concepts; bold illustrations; array of building site equipment; and emphasis on parent-child relationships, this one seems perfectly geared for very young construction-lovers. The action makes it interesting for daytime reading, but the restful ending helps it work for before naps and bedtime as well.
review 2: If you are a fan of Pete the Cat illustrations you will probably like these. The same bright, primary colors are used to create the pictu... moreres of big "Dad" construction vehicles and their little vehicles, which both have eyes and eyebrows in the windows. The rhyming story tells how Dads help their young children. As each vehicle is named the child version has a shortened version of the name. For example Boom truck helps Boomer and Backhoe Steady waits for Hoe-Hoe. What they do together basically describes the job of the vehicle with action- fill, drive, dump. I can see a preschool teacher or story time person coming up with actions for children to go along with the story. less
