Whether they stop to stare at an airplane flying overhead or can't take their eyes off a massive digger lifting a boulder out of the ground, children are captivated by big machines at work. Now curious kids can read more about their favorite machines. Each title combines color photos and simple language to teach young readers about the parts of big machines, what they are used for, and how they work.
