Say goodnight to all of the vehicles on a construction site one-by-one! A perfect bedtime story!
I had heard good things about this book. But the fact that all the machines are male made me so angry! I am so tired of books with more boys than girls. Particularly when they are machines, and the gender doesn't matter.
My two-and-a-half year-old loves this book and the illustrations are adorable (how can an excavator look so cute and cozy?!?) but I have to agree with the comment about all the vehicles being male. This is completely unnecessary and sexist. I usually read it switching genders for each new vehicleโthe rhymes all still work!
My three year old loved this for bedtime and had to keep it in his room with him until the morning! That's when we know we have a winner!
Really cute! Nice and complex rhyming. My only criticism is that none of the machinery were female.
I really liked this book for my 2 year olds bed time story. It was a great length and by the end of it, my daughter was ready for her own good nigh good night!
So fun to read outloud. For any child who loves big trucks, construction sites and enjoys building things this book is a must read. Very charming and readable.
this book has a great rhythym to it, and the illustrations are great. My 18month old son loves it, and its one that as a parent is not too hard to 'read again'...
Both my 2 year old and 4 year old boys enjoyed this book. I liked that it named the types of construction equipment that I always point to when we pass in real life, but never knew the names of.
