Since Spring has sprung, we’re extra excited about truck books in our house! There are a few construction sites around town, and so we’ve been spending lots of time watching the trucks do their jobs.
If you’re looking for a few more truck books to add your collection, check out my post here for a few suggestions!
In this post, I put together a fun toddler sensory bin activity inspired by one of our favorite books ” The Digger and the Flower” along with a review of the book!
Hope you enjoy!
The Digger and the Flower Review
The Digger and the Flower is sure to warm the hearts of both environmentalists and truck lovers. It’s a beautifully written story about an excavator truck that discovers a blue flower growing in the middle of his construction site, and vows to protect it.
Vibrant and heartwarming illustrations will inspire readers to understand the value of friendship and the importance of caring for people/things that you love. It’s an inspiring tale that will definitely should be added to your book collection.
