Reach for this book when your child is obsessed with construction sites or when you want to celebrate the satisfaction of a hard day's work. It is perfect for those messy afternoons when your little one is covered in dirt and feeling particularly proud of their 'big kid' energy. The story follows a charismatic backhoe loader as it clears a messy lot, counting up the junk it finds and reveling in the grime and grit of the job. Beyond the machines, this book is a masterclass in self-confidence. It teaches children that being 'dirty' isn't a bad thing when it results from hard work and helpfulness. The energetic, rhythmic text and playful typography make it a joy to read aloud, helping toddlers and preschoolers develop a robust vocabulary for both machines and emotions. It is a celebratory look at utility and purpose that turns a chore into a triumph.
