Diggers and Dredgers

Short stories about big machines
Ages 3 and up
The fascination of construction equipment – discover, laugh and dig along

Great fun for young builders and junior engineers

Children like digging and building things. Large construction machines are particularly fascinating. In illustrated texts, Ole Könnecke explains what excavators, rollers and tracked trucks do, as well as tippers and cranes, loaders and lorries. His stories are tongue-in-cheek and there’s always an animal along for the ride. Wolf only needs a shovel for a small hole. But to dig out a heavy treasure chest, he takes a bucket excavator. The fastest way for Cow to transport the concert piano over the fence and onto her meadow is with a telescopic crane. And when Sheep picks up a stone block weighing several tons along with her weekend shopping, she goes in search of a wheel loader. An original picture book that combines information and humour in a very entertaining way.
