Dazzling Diggers (Amazing Machines)

My toddler loved this book so much when we checked it out at the library. After renewing the library loan 3 times, I decided to buy it. Cute story and illustrations. Great for a toddler.

I bought this book for my two year old son. He loves it, but I notice his little 4 month old sister loves it also because of the colorful pitures. The pictures of animals working is very cute. There are extra things in the pitures, like workers carrying lunch boxes that I can discuss with my son. Also the pages are more durable than normal paper. He wanted to take a tractor book to bed for a nap and I felt comfortable letting him read (flip through) this one alone before he fell asleep. However, my wife didn't like the idea of any book in his crib!

This series of books is excellent for young children. The rhyming flow of the text and the fun illustrations make for a very engaging read. We have a number of these books and it seems like at least one of them always appears in the bedtime-story stack. Highly recommend.

We have a lot of the books in this series now and my son would love to have them all. Unlike other "franchise" type series, each one of these books is as creative and fun as the last... there's not one that my son doesn't like. He's three now and does prefer longer stories, but they're really good filler books that he never turns down, and I really enjoy reading them as the rhymes and images are a lot of fun. There's also a very cool glossary at the end that gives insight into what the parts of the vehicle are and what they do, that might actually be the most fun for my little guy. Really love this entire series, we've had a lot of fun with them!

My daughter couldn't afford to buy my grand kids books and they love reading. I am not able to do a lot of "extra spending" either but want the children to love books like I do and have the opportunity to have some. I was so glad to find these and at such a wonderful price. I was able to get the kids each several books of their own and they were so glad to get them to! Go Nanny!!! I will be buying some more for them too!!

Tony Mitton's books are factual and the rhyming is catchy. My grandsons and granddaughter love all of the amazing machines titles by Mitton. Love Ant Parker's illustrations, also, which are amazingly accurate in depiction of the machines. I just bought 3 of the amazing machines books to give to my brother to read to his young grandson. I think I have their whole series now for my grandchildren.

We have many of the books in this series and love them! I suggest it for ages 3 and up. Sturdy, cute drawings, fun words. Not simple enough words for a beginning reader though.

My son has loved this book since age 20 months. He loves construction sites and this digger book is great. I think it would be slightly better if the illustrations were more realistic because he would enjoy it more. Its a great rhyming story and I am not annoyed reading it several times in a row each day! I'd also recommend the Tractor book in the same series.
