The bedtime book for the truck-mad toddler: at the end of the workday, every big machine on the site parks, powers down, and goes to sleep.
The sun goes down over the construction site, and one by one the big machines finish their work and get ready for bed. The crane truck lowers its load, the cement mixer rinses off, the dump truck curls up in its dirt pile, and each one gets its own soft goodnight. It's a truck book and a bedtime book at the same time - all the roaring and digging your child loves, wound down to a hush by the last page.
It meets a truck-obsessed toddler exactly where they are and walks them straight to sleep. Each machine gets a page of its own, so your child learns the crane from the cement mixer from the bulldozer while the rhythm keeps softening. By the time the last truck's lights click off, so are theirs. It's the rare bedtime book that a digger-lover asks for on purpose.
