I appreciated the anticipation of "And on that farm he had an ..." and you turn the page to find a big machine and the machine's name in bold capitol letters with an exclamation point. What a fun song to share at a storytime event!

Always a fun song to share. I did end up singing this one during storytime. I did simplify some of the truck refrains because they changed with each big machine revealed. It is a big lengthy, but we did the whole thing. You could paperclip a couple pages together to make this book shorter.

The construction equipment in the book builds toward the end result. Fans of excavators and the like will enjoy it!

A fun automotive take on the classic children's song, and a thrill-seeking granny is always a great time! Depict all the kinds of women, thank you!
