About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to channel a toddler's high energy into a productive learning moment or when a busy afternoon requires a dose of rhythmic, joyful cooperation. This board book transforms the potentially daunting task of learning twenty six letters into a musical construction site adventure. As Cement Mixer churns through the alphabet, he demonstrates to Bulldozer that even big jobs are easier and more fun when you have a friend and a song to help you along. While the primary goal is letter recognition, the heart of the story lies in its celebration of teamwork and a positive attitude toward work. It is perfectly calibrated for the 0 to 3 age range, using bouncy, lyrical rhymes that mirror the 'vroom' and 'clunk' of a child's favorite machines. Parents will appreciate how it builds foundational literacy skills while modeling a helpful, supportive friendship between the vehicle characters.
