Digger Man
A picture book for the very young that celebrates a child's excitement for construction vehicles
"Honk the horn!Flash the lights!
Scoop the rocks!
Push the mud!" A little boy imagines driving a great big digger-scooping and pushing mud to make a playground for his baby brother. Children are fascinated with bulldozers, backhoes, payloaders-diggers of all shapes and sizes. In this playful picture book, simple alliterative language and bold, colorful images capture a child's love of building and creating.

Praise for this book
"[A] lively, sure-to-please winner . . . Details are perfect, down to the brothers' special bond at the end of the day." --School Library Journal
"Truck and machinery fans will dig this." --Kirkus Reviews "The joyful acrylic illustrations and the sparse, confident text will delight other digger-wannabes." --Booklist "The book's most distinctive note, however, lies in having the narrator employ his construction dream world as a means of connecting with his sibling, rather than escaping from him." --Publishers Weekly
