Learn about excavators, rollers, trucks, cranes, and loaders in this big book of more than a dozen heavy vehicles. And enjoy all the animals along for the ride. When Cow wants to give a concert, she transports her piano with a telescopic crane. When Duck and Hen compete over who has the neatest lawn, hand mower leads to lawn mower to combine harvester - that ends the discussion! And what do rhinos like to make in their cement mixer? Pancakes, of course, and here's the recipe (beware, you'll need 32,304 eggs).
