Bookroo's summary

A leveled introduction to backhoes for beginning readers. It explains how the machine's long arm and bucket scoop dig deep into the dirt, what each part does, and why no worker with a shovel can match a backhoe's strength.

From the publisher

Digging deep in the dirt. This is what a backhoe is built to do, with its long arm and bucket scoop. No muscular man or woman with a shovel in hand can match the machine’s strength. Young readers will dig this title that breaks down how backhoes work.
