For babies and toddlers who love learning about vehicles of all kinds comes another colorful book in the Red Truck and Friends series! This rhyming read-aloud digs into a new kind of vehicle—excavators!
★ “A well-crafted text spiced with sound effects… highly recommended for reading aloud.”—Booklist (starred review), on Red Truck
Ready…set…EXCAVATE!
It's clean-up day in the town of Tumberton, and there's lots of hard work to be done. Orange Excavator will need to gobble up all the trash in sight, help fix the broken water line, and dig a hole to plant a tree, all before the day is done! Young readers will love exploring the visually appealing illustrations, mimicking Orange Excavator’s sound effects, and learning about all the various jobs these rough and tough vehicles can perform!
This busy read-aloud will have little workers digging into this story again and again.
"Young construction-vehicle mavens will enjoy this fun romp that takes them through a cheery bright-orange excavator’s typical workday . . . The unfamiliar word excavator in itself should excite little ones because of its length, juicy mouth feel, and aural appeal." --Kirkus Reviews
