Actual photographs of the construction stuff your kids love 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

My son loves trucks (he's 15 mos. old) and he loves this book. It is his favorite. Definitely buy it for your little truck lover too (whenever my son sees a bulldozer, he now says "bull" after reading this book over and over!).

Incorrect names for equipment but good book 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I would really like this book but unfortunately the author uses the wrong names for some of the construction equipment. We will continue to enjoy the book until my daughter learns to read. After that...

The most glaring misname is the crawler EXCAVATOR which Tana calls a crawler backhoe. The wheeled backhoe is referred to as a backhoe. Plus forklift is normally used for the small machines you think of in warehouses not the larger construction site equipment.

For those who are really interested the other industry names are Manlift (cherry picker), Telescopic Handler (forklift), Telescopic Handler being used like a crane (forklift crane).

Editorial Review:

Crisp, clear, full-color photographs show all the fascinating machines and earthmovers found at a construction site. Even the very youngest readers will want to put on hard hats!

"The roaring power of 13 construction machines is captured in clear, brilliantly colored photographs." -- Booklist

My Body, My Self for Boys: A "What's Happening to My Body?" 2 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This book although informative read too much like a science book. I would recommend a smaller but just as informative book titled "What's going on Down there? Questions boys are afraid to ask". It was more conversational and answered the tough questions with entertaining cartoons and candor. I would recommend the parent read the book first, then have the child read it, and then they discuss it together.

Editorial Review:

In the million-copy "What's Happening to My Body?" series for preteens and teens (9-15-year-olds), in a fresh new edition (previously sold over 45,000) this fact-filled and fun journal/activity book, inspired by thousands of letters from boys all over the world, encourages boys to address their concerns head on. Packed with drawings, cartoons, games, checklists, quizzes, and innovative exercises, this helpful workbook, expanded to include more letters from teens and pre-teens, includes special sections on the body, body image, height, weight, growing size and shape, hair, voice changes, reproductive organs and sexuality, and helps dispel the many myths about puberty and the body that contribute to boys' curiosity and confusion.

Editorial Review:

Winner of The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval

As children mature into adolescence, the impact of their peers, the media, and the surrounding culture can sometimes overwhelm the influence of parents, teachers, and other caring adults, and even their own better judgment.

This book helps young people look critically at the world around them--television, movies, the music industry, and even their friends and acquaintances. Included are discussions of getting along with parents and teachers, dating, falling in love, body image, and eating disorders.

Readers are given an easy, effective method of problem-solving, useful in dealing with negative peer pressure. The emphasis is on how kids have more power over their lives than they may think and how they can bring about changes to make things better. For ages 13 and up.

Editorial Review:

Capturing the energy and possibilities of boyhood with light–filled color and energy, beloved painter of children Kathryn Andrews Fincher combines richly detailed pictures and riveting true stories in this motivating book for little boys and those who care about them.

Parents, grandparents, and dear friends will sow seeds of strong character in a young boy’s life as they read aloud stories of inspiring men of faith who knew from early on that they had been created to do truly great things. The God–given traits of bravery, righteousness, faithfulness, sacrifice, persistence, trust, and humility are highlighted in the lives of King David, Eric Liddell, Martin Luther King, Jr., and others.

Paintings of young boys learning, discovering, exploring their world, and talking to God convey the important message that little ones have been created with a special plan and purpose and, with encouragement and guidance, can accomplish amazing things.
