The ultimate introduction to big machines for kids 3-5, packed with construction facts and building foldout fun.

Journey to a modern-day construction site with this captivating toddler truck book. From the tough bulldozer to the towering crane, young builders will meet their favourite construction vehicles in stunning detail.

Turn each page and see the big machines move in one by one to get to work, finally revealing a foldout surprise: the completed apartment building with a landscaped garden!

See the demolition truck knock down an abandoned building, marvel at the power of the excavator as it digs the foundations, and watch the concrete mixer as it prepares the walls of the new apartment block. Plus, spot the moving van arriving as families move into their new homes.

Spot all the fun details in each scene:

• Meet 13 helpful big machines - from the ever-popular dump truck and backhoe, to the grader and steamroller.
• Bold, full-colour illustrations bring the construction site to life, helping children identify different vehicles and their unique jobs.
• Fascinating facts about the daily life of a building project that combine easy-to-understand bite-sized chunks with a lively narrative tone - ideal for curious early learners.
• An interactive experience that encourages children to spot details, answer questions, and follow the process of building, fostering active learning and observation skills.

An educational gift for kids who like trucks and diggers, discover the mechanical giants of the construction site with this narrative book of big machine facts - a must-have for every young engineer's bookshelf.
