I have a son who thinks construction vehicles are pretty awesome. To make this post even more authentic, I will post a picture of him on a stray excavator we found by the side of the road two weeks ago. :) 
Of all the construction vehicles, excavators are definitely his favorite (and he will correct you if you call it a "digger.") He also loves to sing along to Blippi's "Excavator" & "Tractor" songs.
Without further ado, here are our top 12 favorite picture books! 


1. Dig, Dogs, Dig! A Construction Tail
by: James Horvath
www.amazon.com/Dig-Dogs-Construction-Tail/dp/0062189646/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=work+dogs+work&qid=1584038520&sr=8-3
The rhyming about construction work in this book will have you hooked on the construction project these hardworking dogs are completing. 

2. Backhoe Joe!
by: Lori Alexander
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find a stray backhoe in the road & take it home as a pet? This is an adorable, feel-good story about the cutest little boy with that ambition.

3. Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site
by: Sherri Duskey Rinky   
Even construction vehicles need a good night's sleep! This one is pretty cute with the sound bar too.
