Follow 13 big machines as they set to work and get building!

With charming illustrations, narrative text and key terms highlighted on each page, this book offers an introduction to the world of big machines for young children. From diggers and dumpers to concrete mixers and cranes, every child's favourite is featured here!

At the beginning, a two-page illustration opens up to reveal a building site. Turn the page and see the big machines move in - one by one - and set to work! See the demolition truck knocking down a derelict building, a bulldozer clearing the site, and a dumper truck taking the rubble away. And so we watch as a new building takes shape, until a gatefold opens to reveal the apartment block completed.

Accompanying the narrative text, there are lots of fun details to look out for in each scene - from a bird building its nest to a mischievous squirrel hiding nuts in the cement mixer! Turn to the gatefold - all the big machines are driving off - their work is done!
