A small machine joins a big park-building project

A vacant lot is being turned into a neighborhood park, with loaders, dump trucks, a backhoe, and a crane on the job. Little Excavator is eager to pitch in, though his small size raises the question of what work he can do. The construction setting and ensemble of vehicles give the story a clear, concrete focus, while its rhyming text and illustrations are described as suited to reading aloud.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for young children interested in construction vehicles and things that go.
  • Useful for caregivers seeking a rhyming picture book to share aloud.
