Focusing on busy diggers, this is one of a series of illustrated books on subjects selected to appeal to young children. All the titles present a combination of story and fact, and are written so that they can either be read to young children or be read by early readers.

A first novelty board book about busy diggers, with push, pull and sliding mechanisms.

Phoebe enjoys playing with her new digger while her mother is busy with the new baby, until a bigger girl grabs the toy at the park.

It’s going to be a busy day on the building site. Digger needs to dig a hole so the foundations can be laid. There's earth to dig up and rubble to clear. Things are looking good - then there's an emergency phone call. Digger needs to attend a rescue, but will he arrive in time to be a hero? It's time to get busy with machines that roar, whizz, vroom, and zoom! The stories feature a popular vehicle as the central character, and involve a group of animal characters in a supporting role. A detailed spread on different parts of the vehicle will help children understand what makes up the machines and will help familiarize them with vehicle vocabulary.

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 be?”
