Truck obsessed small kids of every gender will love this new Construction Site book. Huge fun with the littlest, newest machine on the site, who saves the day.

Chronicle Books has kindly said we may read their picture books, so we read them! Not something I could ever read in live storytime, but you can get away with so much more in Virtual Storytime. It's very cute, but so loooong.

Thanks to the @kidlitexchange network for a review copy of this book - all opinions are my own.

A cute story about how being little doesn’t mean you can’t be strong! Excellent rhymes and a plucky little tractor!

Small but mighty wins the day in this colorful, whimsical picture book from the author of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site. Young construction fans will really DIG this book - I especially appreciated the level of detail they get into with what different machines do and how machines work. For example, when two stuck machines need help up a slippery hill, dump truck dumps a load of sand for traction. Readers who want to know everything there is to know about construction will appreciate these little inclusions.

Thanks to @kidlitexchange and Chronicle Kids for sharing Three Cheers for Kid McGear by Sherri Duskey Rinker and AG Ford. All opinions are my own.

My son and I have loved all the construction site books so far, and he was so excited to see a new book with a new character! Kid McGear is small, and the other trucks don’t think she can help. Kid isn’t discouraged, just offers to work with them another day. But when there’s an emergency, Kid is the only one who can help.

Like the previous books in the series, this book has a good story, cute rhymes, and gorgeous illustrations. It’s a must-read!

What a great book on Teamwork.  I especially love how Kid McGear is a girl.  When I grew up I loved to play with trucks and tractors and it wasn’t normalized.  That this book normalizes female trucks is just icing on top of this story's cake.
