Fans of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site will enjoy this one--especially the message of ingenuity, teamwork, and determination. ( )

What a great book on Teamwork. I especially love how Kid McGear is a girl. When I grew up I loved to play with trucks and tractors and it wasn’t normalized. That this book normalizes female trucks is just icing on top of this story's cake. ( )

Fans of tractors, back-hoes, dump trucks and all things construction will Kid McGear and all the determination the tiny skid-loader brings with him.

A flatbed arrives on the construction site bringing along a new member to the already busy crew. The little skid loader is energetic and friendly, but all the jobs appear to be a bit too big for him. When an accident leaves two important construction vehicles in trouble, Kid McGear might be exactly the hero the construction site needs.

This is such a fun, inspiring read for construction and big vehicle fans. Familiar as perhaps lesser known vehicles appear on the pages doing what they do best. It's a busy construction site and the illustrations bring this to life, allowing the atmosphere to radiate from every page. But that's only the beginning. The star is a little skid loader, and this guy has quite the sunshiny attitude, too.

There's a bit of action and some tension as a true adventure unrolls. The vehicles are never mean to each other, and yet, the disappointment of Kid McGear is impossible to miss as he's pushed aside as not being big enough. His readiness to help is pure and everybody stands at his side. There's cooperation as well as a bit of ingenuity. It's a happy read, which begs to be read again and again. ( )
