This is cute! I am only just starting to look into and understand the thrill of transportation themes for little boys. (Yet my girls do live Thomas and enjoy Bob the Builder from time to time...) With a new son I'm on the look out for some more diggers and such, because while we already like them books like Backhoe Joe can help us love them!

Craig Cameron's illustrations are adorable and I'm definitely a fan. Lori Alexander's text is good and fun. Pets are always an entertaining theme for kids to read about. But what if that pet was a lost construction tool? I mean seriously who hasn't seen that equipment left in a job and wondered what it would be like to take it home... But that backhoe already has a home. This is a fun one about pets, but about diggers too.
