This interactive book features layered die cut pages throughout to introduce toddlers to diggers and how they work.

Diggers are so exciting! Children can learn all about how they work with this interactive board book that features layered die cut pages throughout. Simple callouts to the various parts of the machine, such as "cab," "rollers," and "engine," invite young readers to see how the digger works.

Topics covered include how it moves, what it does at the construction site, and more. Packed with fun facts and accessible information, this first introduction to diggers is perfect for curious toddlers who love construction vehicles.
Molly Littleboy lives in a tiny apartment in London with more plants than she really has space for. She is lucky enough to have her dream job in children’s publishing, where she gets to edit, write, and spend time finding words that rhyme. Her favorite things are lazy Sundays, detective stories, and petting other people’s dogs.

David Semple was born in the North East of England in the early 70's. After studying illustration he enjoyed a stint working in the TV & Film industry in London painting latex puppets & prosthetics! Since then a pencil has never been far from his hand, and he has designed and illustrated characters for a wide range of clients across the globe. He lives in York with his designer wife Kate, their three children, and Olive the dog.
