I Am a Backhoe
What's I Am a Backhoe About
“Dig, dig, dig. Lift, turn, tip. I am . . .a backhoe.” In spare text and vibrant illustrations, a little boy pretends to be a bulldozer, a crane, a dump truck, and a roller. And finally, he parks on the couch with his father for a quiet moment.

Reviews
A little boy pretends to be some of his favorite construction vehicles. I like that this book encourages imagination. I found the illustrations lacking and a weak part of the book.
