I purchased this book for my son to read and use for a project. It has nice pictures and words were easy to read for him. I think some construction vehicles were left out, so the reason I didn't give 5 stars. I think it lacked in that respect. But it did have ones we never heard of before. Either way nice illustrations and words are easy to ready and not overbearing. I do not like books where the words are overpowering. This was a good choice.

This book was a gift for my 2 year old's birthday 2 weeks ago. He absolutely loves it. It has been read to him every day since and even with gentle use, it fell apart within a few days. We were even more careful than usual after reading another review about the binding quality, but to no avail. Several pages have completely detached from the binding already. That has never happened to any of our children's books before. It is such a shame. Exceptionally poor quality. I finally had to put it away and now it's in book-limbo. What am I to do with a beloved book that fell apart & would cost a small fortune to have rebound?
The content of the book is fabulous. Beautiful illustrations and engaging descriptions.
I really hope the quality is improved though. Extremely disappointing.

A good idea, but not very well executed. A bit too serious, and the choice of vehicles and names is a bit exotic. Probably it would make most sense to a child of a construction worker, living in the 70s.

ABC books should feel canonical and comprehensive, like the alphabet itself. This feels a bit like a stretch.

This is a fantastic book! My 2 year old makes us read it to him every night. It not only teaches the abc's but also the names of construction equipment. Which is a bonus for me because I don't know all of the names. And my little one is always asking what they are called.
Illustrations are well done as well .
I would definetly recommend this book.

Finally, I can hold meaningful conversations with my four year old without him having to stoop down to my level!

I, and other moms in the neighborhood, used to refer to any big construction vehicle in the vicinity as a bulldozer. The looks of searing disappointment he gave at those times has been etched into my soul. Never again.

You should check out the author's other alphabet books. We also have the underwater one and the beetle one, and my son loves all of them.
