Sam and the Big Machines
When Sam slips from his vantage point into a pile of sand on a construction site he gets almost too close a view for comfort of what his beloved construction machines can do as he is grabbed, tipped and tumbled with the sand around the site. Sam the Small's fascination for diggers, dumpers, cement mixers, cranes and the like is one shared by many children and adults, and all should enjoy these pictures of their favourite monsters and the partially rhyming, alliterative text. (With safety in mind it might be as well to make sure that children understand the fantasy element in this realistically depicted adventure.)
