What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

The perfect picture book for any vehicle-obsessed kid to see life through the eyes of a big-wheeled worker! Fans of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site discover how big-wheeled vehicles really feel about the work they do. This raucous rhyming story puts preschoolers in the driver’s seat as their favorite vehicles reveal the ups and downs of being a busy truck. Do diggers wish they were as big as an excavator or are they happy with the holes they can dig? Do trains get tired of staying on the same track or do they welcome all the passengers aboard? Bright and lively illustrations bring each vehicle to life.
