Very versatile
I love all the Byron Barton books! They are simple enough that infants enjoy them and they’re also great for older ages as they can name the images and also so easy to add onto as a teacher.

Great kids book.
This was one of my favorite books as a kid, and so I had to buy it for my son. It's simple yet entertaining and has good illustrations.

Colorful, durable.
A favorite for 2 generations of my family now. I love that the board book is the full authors version of the story.

Great book with simple language and colorful illustration
My 2.5 year old is obsessed with vehicles of all kinds and loves this book. I would, however, like to point out that I think there is a typo- on one of the pages it says lift that beam and it looks like they are lifting/about to install what is clearly a post. Other than that I love the simplicity of the illustrations and text while also being colorful and interesting. My son loves to read it again and again.

Barton's Books Don't Disappoint!
Cute! As expected. This series is simple yet strangely engaging and interesting for preschoolers and adults alike!

Byron didn't fact check
Baby adores this book series. I think it's the nice saturated colors! But the author says "cement" when he means concrete and that's essentially a sin lol

This classic book has been around for a long time
This was one of my son's favorite books as an infant. (He is now 25.) I bought it to complement a couple of "boy baby" construction-themed outfits for my former coworker's baby shower.

Good for car lovers!
赤ん坊は車を気に入った場合、この本は良いです。 I gave this book as a gift to a friend's child, and he loves it! For kids who are into trucks and cars, this is a cute book with clear pictures and a fun story. It doesn't tell what each vehicle is in English though.

Great for toddlers who love big vehicles
Bought as gift for a 2 year old boy. We had the same book for our two boys when they were young. All of Byron Barton’s books are excellent. Simple, colourful images and succinct text that appeals to both the youngster and the adult reading it. This book was delivered ahead of schedule by Wordery—thank you!

This is a lovely book with a lot of big ...
This is a lovely book with a lot of big machines. My 19 month old is obsessed with it and I got to learn a few names in the process. Bonus for including women driving the machines as well.

Kids love it and will gain word fluency early!
When I first bought this book, I bought it for the cover and my wife looked at me like I was a typical stoner... the joke is now on her because not only do all our kids love this book - every kid we buy it for loves it also. You need to read it in a Bob Gordon voice (contractor with a gruff - matter of fact voice). Or get creative and try something else. Either way - this is a dope book that should be a future classic. Also, it is easy for kids to memorize this book and gain some word fluency at an earlier age than their peers. Don't you want your kids to be smart? Maybe you don't. If not - don't buy this book.
