Construction Alphabet Board book – Large Print, May 9, 2017

This book was a gift for my 2 year old's birthday 2 weeks ago. He absolutely loves it. It has been read to him every day since and even with gentle use, it fell apart within a few days. We were even more careful than usual after reading another review about the binding quality, but to no avail. Several pages have completely detached from the binding already. That has never happened to any of our children's books before. It is such a shame. Exceptionally poor quality. I finally had to put it away and now it's in book-limbo. What am I to do with a beloved book that fell apart & would cost a small fortune to have rebound?The content of the book is fabulous. Beautiful illustrations and engaging descriptions.I really hope the quality is improved though. Extremely disappointing.

We love this book! We got the paperback first and like other reviews say the binding is poor quality which is unfortunate and fell apart pretty quick. Since we enjoyed the book so much I decided to buy the board book. I received it today and I hope it will last longer. I will update my review if I find the sturdiness of the board book is just a weak. The images and content is beautiful and my kids love it. The board book has less information which makes sense since it’s smaller. I took a picture comparing the differences between the paperback and the board book. If the company redoes the binding with better quality I will buy it because we like it that much.

Do you have a small child or heck are you even currently pregnant? Put down the baby week by week books & pick this up instead. This book is more valuable to me than any of the baby books I read. Because one day your child will talk & ask questions & many of those questions will be “What’s that?” And if they are like my little boy they will want to know the name of every truck, dinosaur, & animal on this earth. And I promise you, “I don’t know” is not acceptable EVER. The book will teach you the names of the trucks you need to know. Learn them now so you look like a rockstar to your kid & avoid teaching them the dreaded response of “I don’t know.” The pictures in the book are also quite beautiful which is a tall order when you are painting construction trucks.

Finally, I can hold meaningful conversations with my four year old without him having to stoop down to my level!I, and other moms in the neighborhood, used to refer to any big construction vehicle in the vicinity as a bulldozer. The looks of searing disappointment he gave at those times has been etched into my soul. Never again.You should check out the author's other alphabet books. We also have the underwater one and the beetle one, and my son loves all of them.

My almost two year old son is obsessed with this book, and it is helping tremendously with his letter recognition. He loves the illustrations, and we love that it doesn't 'dumb down' the information for children. It's really adorable when he asks to see the knucklebone loader by name. He requests this for his bedtime story every night, and we have been very careful not to let him mistreat it. We have had it just over a month (incidentally, just outside of the return window), and it is completely falling apart. All of the center pages have separated from the binding and have fallen out. The only option I see is to put the pages in a binder, which is disappointing- it was a beautiful book- or to buy a new one, which I'd be willing to do, but afraid it would also just fall apart.

This is a fantastic book! My 2 year old makes us read it to him every night. It not only teaches the abc's but also the names of construction equipment. Which is a bonus for me because I don't know all of the names. And my little one is always asking what they are called.Illustrations are well done as well .I would definetly recommend this book.

Our grandson loves anything to do with construction equipment and large machinery. We thought this book would be a hit, but so far it is just OK. He looks at it for a shot time, then moves on. “Mighty Mighty Construction Site” is more popular with him at this point. He is only 4 (turning 5 in 2 months) so the Construction Alphabet Book might be just a bit old for him. We are hoping he grows into it - and there is lots to grow into with the descriptions of the equipment and some of the more obscure pieces of machinery included in this book.

A good idea, but not very well executed. A bit too serious, and the choice of vehicles and names is a bit exotic. Probably it would make most sense to a child of a construction worker, living in the 70s.ABC books should feel canonical and comprehensive, like the alphabet itself. This feels a bit like a stretch.

Excellent item, exactly what we wanted. Fast delivery.

Lovely illustrations, a happy bday boy.

I worried that this would be too complicated for my 2.5 year old. At first he didn’t seem that interested in me reading it more than just looking at the pages. But now he actually asks for it before any other books we read, he is also starting to put together the new names he hears. If you have a toddler who loves loves loves mighty machines this is a good one. Recommended by my 2 year old.

this book has very beautiful illustrations and the children in my home daycare really enjoyed it.It went perfect with our construction unit and introduced the toddlers to lots of new vocabulary. I would recommend this for any bookshelf.
