Praise
"Readers will delight in the jaunty backhoe and appreciate his gruff silliness. Full of kid appeal, this is sure to be a favorite with reluctant readers, those who revel in mud and all who love trucks."

"Energetic illustrations capture these mucky goings-on with a large dollop of humor, as type of varying sizes cavorts-playfully across the pages."

"Nothing groundbreaking here, but readers who love large noisy vehicles will have a blast."

"Pint-size gear-heads will love the spreads showing the backhoe loader using all of his features, from front claw to back wheels, and most kids will find plenty of vicarious fun in the grinning, powerful monster machine that creates and conquers chaos and loves a good mud bath."
