Purchase options and add-ons

Exciting photographs are paired with cool facts and simple explanations in this earthmoving ABC. Kids love trucks and diggers and this alphabet book has all their favorites, from the speedy skid steer loader to the giant 797 off-highway truck (one of the biggest trucks in the world!). Seeing real Cat machines at work, digging, hauling, dumping, and lifting, puts young readers right there on the construction site in the middle of the action. (No hard hats necessary!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this book for your 3-4yo boy!
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2009

This is an excellent book for 3-5 year old boys that are interested in construction equipment.
The pictures are all very high quality photographs or engineering diagrams that apparently are from the Caterpiller marketing department. All the equipment is in showroom demonstration condition. The book could be in Caterpillar showrooms for all I know; the dealers ought to give them out to customers.

Anyway, this book has the most detail and the best images of contemporary American construction equipment of any I have seen. What a favorite for both son and Dad and Grandpa! (and Mom is interested because her son is so interested in the detailed equipment.)

With this book, and a month of study, your 3yo will be ready to give a tour at the local construction site or equipment rental yard.

Warning: one side effect is that for technically inclined boys, this book can make lesser toys be 'for babies.' No more Little Tykes or Fisher Price for our son... oh no, it has to be Ertl or Mega Bloks Caterpillar stuff now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Middle School Boys
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2009

I ordered this book for a student of mine who is in middle school. He has not been motivated to improve his reading. He loves this book. Each letter has a different Caterpillar machine that it describes. It is very motivating for my student. If he reads the book with at least 90% accuracy, the book is his. He's at 87% now. The pictures are actual photographs of the machines and does not talk down to young teens who have difficulty reading. Any young teenage boy who loves big machinery and has difficulty reading would enjoy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great...
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2010

My 2 1/2 year old son loves all things construction (which is not a surprise since his daddy works for CAT). So, when I saw this book we snagged it as a nice surprise for a long car trip. My son loves the HUGE real-life photos of the various different machinery (24 pages in all as they combine w/x & y/z). But with those HUGE photos comes a HUGE book (9" x 11") that is hard for my son to handle and turn pages. He sometimes gets frustrated and as a result several pages are already pretty tattered and he's only had the book for a month. An older child would probably be able to handle it just fine, but something to keep in mind.

Also, I wish the letter on the page was a little more emphasized and that the text was slightly larger and easier to read (not that my son is reading yet, but it would make it easier on us!)

But all in all, it is a good book and my son loves it, but just not "great". If he was probably a few months older my above complaints would probably not even exist! Would recommend the book for 3 years+.

We purchased this book for my little boy when he turned 3. He loves construction machines and big trucks, so we thought this book might be a good one for him. What a perfect choice! The pictures are real and large enough to see detail on the machines. Our son's vocabulary has even grown thanks to the book's descriptive words. It's a must for all boys and a great birthday present.

Really informative, well illustrated book. The pictures are pristine! For each letter/truck, just enough information is given to keep your little one's interest. No information overload - which is nice if you have impatient toddlers. I enjoyed this as much as my 3 yr old, and learned new info too =) Highly recommend!

I purchased this book for my son and have been happy with the contents. This book shows pictures of various Caterpillar brand construction equipment with the correct name in large colorful pictures. If you are looking for a book that includes lots of photos of different types of construction equipment and describes the function then this is for you.

Too bad the words are not on the same digital page as the pictures. Made it difficult to read and show child pictures at same time.
