A beautifully illustrated book for babies featuring lots of noisy diggers working together on a very busy building site.

Turn the pages and lift the flaps to watch the big-wheeled digger shovel and scoop up the rubble with its big metal bucket, see how the long-armed crane stretches up high with a very heavy load, and watch the road roller chug slowly along to flatten the ground. With busy vehicles pushing, pulling, tipping, rumbling, chugging, scooping, and beeping, little ones will love learning about what happens on the building site, and joining in to make the noisy digger sounds.

This hard-wearing board book has large flaps for babies and toddlers to lift and sturdy pages for little ones who are beginning to turn the pages. They'll reveal the busy diggers doing different jobs and working hard to build a shiny new house! The short text is fun to read aloud and share with toddlers, while labels develop vocabulary and help little ones to learn the names of all their favorite diggers and trucks.
Renowned author and illustrator Jonny Lambert has more than 30 years’ experience in publishing and has more than 300 books to his name. His colorful illustrations are distinctive in their style, making them perfect for children’s books. He has worked with DK on several titles, including Animal 123, Animal ABC, Diggers, and three Bear and Bird titles. View titles by Jonny Lambert
