Description

Juvenile Nonfiction. Language Arts. Transportation. Careers. Sixteen boisterous, rhyming poems �?? each one highlighting the job and personality of a different vehicle, from a backhoe to an ambulance to a snowplow �?? invite young children to meet their favorite trucks face-to-face. Cheerful illustrations show each one in action, digging (or dozing, or dumping) away. Engaging visual details like an anxious turtle crossing the street just ahead of a steamroller are sure to keep preschoolers poring over the pages as they consider the question, "Trucks as far as eyes can see. . . . Which truck would you like to

“Digger Dozer Dumper” is a collection of poems written by Hope Vestergaard that is a book for younger readers interested in industrial service trucks. The simple illustrations done by David Slonim in watercolor and black charcoal or crayon are just as cute as the poems themselves. A fun

supplementary poetry book for the library collection for early readers.

Catchy rhymes about trucks and big machines with cheerful illustrations.

I have read many many books with to my 3 year old entirely on the basis of them having a truck on the cover, and this is the best of them.

Each page has a poem about some type of truck or industrial machine. The illustrations are nicely detailed, and the poems are cute, fun-to-read, and not

overlong.

Highly recommended for little kids who love trucks.
