Book Review: “Backhoe Joe”

Disclosure:  I received this book to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Backhoe Joe

Publisher: Loti Alexander (September 16, 2014)

Format:  Hardcover

40 Pages

Nolan’s always wanted his own backhoe! So when he finds a stray backhoe in the street, he can’t wait to adopt it. But this backhoe is not very well behaved. As Nolan tries to train his new pet, he learns that maybe this backhoe already has a home.

This delightful story of a boy and his construction vehicle is brought to life with Craig Cameron’s vibrant illustrations, making this the perfect addition to every young reader’s library.

My boys have always love trucks, my 8 year old especially loves construction trucks.  I will say I am sad that he is getting older and doesn’t play with his little construction trunks like he used to, but I guess he does have to grow up!  I wasn’t sure if he would think this book was too babyish, but he didn’t and he loves it!  He has been struggling with reading but this book has made it fun for him to read and he loves that he can read it on his own.  It is a great picture book for young and old kids to enjoy, especially ones that like construction trucks. The story is about a boy who brings a backhoe home like a pet and he learns to train it and take care of it.  This book would be a great silly book too if your child wants a pet so they can see what responsibility is like.
