Children see big, yellow construction machines every day: on the road, at construction sites, and in media. They are often curious what the equipment is called, and what each machine does. Everyday Machines provides simple, one sentence answers with original artwork that helps children visually understand what each machine looks like and how it operates.

This book can be enjoyed by children of all ages. Infants and toddlers will be captivated by the images. Preschoolers can identify the machines they see working. School age children beginning to read can practice while learning. Older children and even parents can use it as a reference if they come across a new machine.

Author's note

As a new father, I bought my son several children's books about heavy equipment, but I was disappointed when I found the pictures and information to be inaccurate. My mission was to create a children's book about machines that was both entertaining and informative. Everyday Machines is the result, I hope you like it!
