Backhoe Joe by Lori Alexander
4.0
Nolan has always wanted a pet backhoe, so when he finds a stray one, he can't help but bring it home. But backhoe is badly behaved; he buries his cone in the flower bed and leaks on the driveway. Nolan is determined to train him, so they find a place that Joe can dig without worry. Nolan is thrilled, until he finds a lost backhoe sign. It can't be his backhoe, can it?
Joe the Backhoe is talked about and described exactly like a dog would be, and no one, not even the parents, act as if it is strange to have a pet construction vehicle. I thought that made it even better. The ending, too, is just right.
