Wonderful story for young children about a bold and brassy digger
Wonderful story for young children about a bold and brassy digger Bruiser is a machine on a mission - a digger who's ploughing up hillsides, trampling down paddocks and crushing rocks in his plan to build a motorway.
His motor roared like a dinosaur. His wheels squealed like an elephant. His sides rumbled like an earthquake. He shook his blade like an angry fist.
Noise and energy abound!
Until a little chick and a nest fall right in front of him - and Bruiser realises there's more to life than tearing up hillsides. He rescues the chick and builds the family a new nest.
Bold, strong images combined with charming story plus lots of noise (!!) make this a winner.
