Why I Love Diggers and Trucks by Daniel Howarth - OPTIONAL

Why I Love Diggers and Trucks
by Daniel Howarth
. BOARD BOOK. HarperCollins Children's Books, 2024. $12 9780008595401

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - OPTIONAL 
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL 

This is a colorful little board book with animal characters interacting with and sharing why they love various construction vehicles ("they're noisy"/"they're strong"/"they're huge", etc.) Fans of diggers and trucks will likely be fans of this book. I like that the little animal characters celebrate not just the real construction vehicles, but their own illustrated drawings of construction vehicles, and their toy versions as well. I really dislike the cutesy font and wish they'd used a more simple sans serif font so early readers might be able to read along and at least easily recognize the letters.
