From my understanding, young children are obsessed with construction vehicles, which is why I am always looking for new books about them for my son. The Little Red Crane is a book that includes various construction sites and vehicles, mainly cranes. I honestly did not know there were so many different cranes until I read this book!
The Little Red Crane is about a portable crane named Dex. One day, Dex and Pete receive a letter in the mail saying that Dex is needed for a big project. So, Dex and Pete pack up and headed out to the project site. Along the way, they come across many different types of cranes: a loader crane, telescope crane, ship-building crane, ship-to-shore crane, an oil rig with cranes, floating crane, mobile crane, and a tower crane. The whole way, the reader and Dex are wondering what this big project for such a small little crane could be. In the end, you find out what the big project for Dex was, and how he can lift extremely heavy objects even though he is so small.
This is a great book to learn about different cranes. The last couple of pages have different facts about the cranes mentioned in the book. I think this is a great story about how someone/something that is so small can actually help do something big, which is a great lesson for any child to learn. The illustrations were great in this book and will capture the attention of a child. I would recommend this story for ages 3 to 7, especially if they love construction sites or vehicles. The Little Red Crane is a great educational book that would make a good addition to any young child's reading collection.
I received this book for free via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
