Using a construction-zone theme, this picture book explores the relationships between fathers and their children. For example, Big Excavator helps his child while they dig, Big Bulldozer shows his child right from wrong as they scoop, and Big Crane keeps his child safe as they reach up high.
With its large font; simple concepts; bold illustrations; array of building site equipment; and emphasis on parent-child relationships, this one seems perfectly geared for very young construction-lovers. The action makes it interesting for daytime reading, but the restful ending helps it work for before naps and bedtime as well.
Pre-K, EL (K-3) -- ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Caryn
