Customer Reviews

we LOVE this book! one of our favorites

We have had this book for a year and it is still one of our favorites. The rhyming words are beautiful and my boy (now 3.5) and i continue to sing them. He will sing "if i had a snowplow you know what i'll do...i'll clear a big road just for you (his version)". In the summer he talks about digging up the potatoes ("dig and dump the plump potatoes"), which we do together and he loads in his dumptruck. It is the sweetest book for both parent and child, very loving, and also perfect for kids who love snowplows, excavator, loader, cement mixer, tree spade, cherry picker, dumptrucks, etc. It goes through all the seasons so it is great for any time of year. I never get tired of reading this!

One of my favorites

As the mother of two boys, I find this book to be close to perfect. Beautifully written and illustrated, it can also be used as a teaching tool to discuss the months of the year and the seasons. A really wonderful book!

Captures the heart of a child

I was looking for a special book for my newest nephew and was totally captivated by this book. It tells of all the wonderful things through the year that a little boy would do for his mother to show her he loves her. Each month he uses a different piece of "heavy equipment" to perform fanciful tasks.Jean Patrick captures the hearts of little boys and mothers everywhere with this lovely book. Karen Dugan's illustrations are beautifully done.
