I've never even seen some of these pieces of equipment or didn't know what they were, so I even learned from this book. I bought this for my 3 years old grandson.he will like it I think for many years as he likes the pictures now, but will understand more as he get older.
The illustrations are great and each piece of equipment is described to the appropriate level of detail. If your child loves heavy equipment then I definitely recommend this book. We have other alphabet books, but this one seems to garner her attention the most in terms of making letter associations, I assume because she is so interested in the subject matter.
This book is great. I for impact hammer." I was astounded that she retained that knowledge from the book. We live near a construction site that my 2.5 year old daughter is addicted to watching.
Those are not run-of-the-mill words for a 2.5 year old. The book is very long, so she often cherry-picks it for bedtime reading to delay sleep. We now have the proper names for all of the machinery and equipment we see on the construction site and it does help her learn the alphabet.
Ex: My daughter pointed out the letters 'm' and 'i' on my shirt--> "M for mobile rock crusher.
The pictures are fantastic and the info about them is interesting. We often argue about the name of them when we see them in action around our city. Having never been around little boys, the prospect of reading about construction equipment with my son left me unenthusiastic. Having read this book dozens of times I feel like I have a welcome and healthy knowledge of those big vehicles.
My three year old loves construction so this book has been a big hit in our home.
Especially for a construction machine loving little boy great artwork- very realistic. Easy to read and fun for learning the alphabet.
