Reader Comments
Excellent and imaginary. My 4 year old grandson loves the contents.
What a lovely story! So imaginative and beautiful drawings. My little boy loved it and immediately asked me to read it again when I had finished Reading it to him
This is a brilliant book, told in such an easy way. My grandson loved it and after I had read it to him sat looking at it for a long time afterwards. He loved the pictures, which I must say were brilliant. Will be a much loved book
I bought this book for my grandson and he loves it
I read this book with my neice and nephew and they both loved it - the illustrations paint a perfect balance between reality and imagination. Highly recommended!
Lovely book. My son adores constructions vehicles and this plus his imagination will be a great combination
A brilliant book that can be read over and over again and still retain the excitement and adventure everytime. Imaginative writing combined with wonderful illustrations make this a perfect book for children. Great value too!
This book is amazing. And is really Entertaining. It will inspire your childs imagination to grow. And soon your child will be imagening and learning and growing before your very eyes!!!!
I can thoroughly recommend this book - a friend has picked this up and regularly reads it to her little boy. It's become that "favourite book" that all children like to have read again and again.
The authors have captured the way a typical child sees the world with imaginary eyes very well indeed and the illustrations translate that view perfectly.
Couldn't say a bad word about it!
A great story with fantastic illustrations....perfect for encouraging children to use their imagination whilst out and about!
Very interesting reading. Great value, road works will never be the same again.
A wonderful original idea. The illustrations are cleverly done, showing the machinery as we see it, as well as the way the boy sees them in his imagination.
