A small machine joins a big park project

Loader, Dump Truck, Backhoe, and Crane arrive to turn a vacant lot into a neighborhood park, and Little Excavator is eager to take part. The story’s central question is how a machine smaller than the others can contribute to a large job. Anna Dewdney’s rhyming text and illustrations give the construction-vehicle premise a read-aloud format, with the worksite and its machines at the heart of the action.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children interested in construction vehicles and things that go
  • Families looking for a rhyming picture book to share aloud
  • Children ages 4–8, the stated audience
