Customer Reviews

Takes some getting used to

When we first read this, it seemed awful. The words didn't seem to fit well with the rhythm at all. However, after reading it a few more times, I found the proper way to "force" the words in to the rhythm and rhyme, and it was great. The "alternate" version of "hush little baby" can be sung to entertain many little digger fans. The pictures are also quite entertaining, making this book great for 2-4 year old boys.

Kids Will "Dig" This Book!

Kids will really like this book. My partner's grand kids read it over and oever again as soon as they got it. The language is rich, the photos are colorful and the story exciting and funny.

Fabulous book for your little guy!

We just LOVE this book.... In fact, it is the perfect book for any little boy who loves big trucks, digging and dirt... I love giving it as a gift with a construction toy for birthday gifts.... It's a MUST HAVE for your bookshelf.

Too cute

Our whole family loves this book. It is such a fun take on the traditional lullaby. My 2 year old boy loves it as well as my 6 year old girl and 8 year old boy. The rhymes are great and the pictures are so cute with lots of color. I would highly recommend this book for those of you with boys (only because it is a boy in the pictures) who love construction equipment and big trucks. I will buy this book again as a gift.

A fresh take on an old rhyme

This remake of "Hush Little Baby" is creative and the rhymes are surprising, never forced. My niece and several other kids I love ADORE this book and ask for it over and over. It nicely melds two major interests of young kids--rhythmic, repetitive text and big equipment! One of my recent favorites for reading (or singing) aloud.
