Description
Down at the construction site, mummy and daddy trucks show their little ones how to build. Push goes a big mummy bulldozer and her one little dozer! Dig goes a daddy digger and his two little diggers!
Count along with every scooping, mashing and spinning family of trucks in the construction site - all the way from the bright early morning until it's time to snuggle in bed.
Picture book talents Rhonda Gowler Greene and Daniel Kirk have joined together for a book that will dig its way into the hearts of those who love Goodnight Digger and Bob the Builder.
