Young readers in the primary grades will enjoy seeing 12″ X 9″ color photos of  heavy machinery digging dirt. Two or three sentences of  large font text on the left are opposite the action photos on the right side of each page spread. The book is divided into three sections: Excavators, Excavator Parts, and Different Kinds. This is followed by More Facts, Glossary, Index, and Abdo Kids Code.

There are, also, 3 printable activities, a 4 minute video, and 3 “Learn More”.
