Publisher Description

Sebastien Braun follows up Toot and Pop! with Digger and Tom!, another brightly colored picture book featuring vehicles preschool kids love.

Digger and Tom! is set at a construction site. Little Digger is eager to help with the work, but all the other construction vehicles are bigger and make a lot more noise. The dump truck, steam roller, steam shovel, bulldozer, crane, cement mixer, and excavator keep taking over his jobs.

Children will identify with Little Digger as he struggles to find his place on the construction crew and will cheer when Digger discovers there are some jobs he can do better than anyone!

Sebastien Braun's charming illustrations show the loveable personalities of all the construction vehicles at the work site.

Little Digger tries hard to help out at the construction site, but it's not easy when the other machines keep taking over his work. Bang! Clank! Clank! Brrrrm! They may be big and noisy, but can they really do a better job than Digger? Go, Digger, go! Sebastien Braun's simple, engaging text and bright, appealing artwork make the delightful story of Digger's teamwork--and triumph--perfect for the youngest of readers.
