Many kids love construction vehicles, and this book is all about a very handy piece of equipment. The Tracks on the Excavator by Kolbi Trebbien is a lyrical book that can be sung to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus." It begins by showing the reader what each part of an excavator is called, and then the song begins. It starts with the tracks of the excavator going round and round, then it moves to the other parts of the excavator. However, it’s not just about the parts of the excavator. There are also other important parts of a job site that are highlighted in the book. What else is important on a construction site? Check out this book to find out.
 
I absolutely loved the illustrations in this book. They were professional, colorful, and filled every page. I also liked how the author wrote each part of the excavator in yellow text. This helps it stand out and create even more visual interest. I like that it could be sung easily as well. This helps the young audience connect more with the story.
 
The book is simplistic. However, I’m sure that was an intentional choice by the author to keep the attention of the young audience for whom it was intended. For that reason, I don’t see it as a drawback. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this book.
 
I give The Tracks on the Excavator a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. It is adorable, and I can imagine kids singing the lyrics in the book long after they have read it. It was also very well edited because I found no errors.
 
This book is perfect for preschool-age children or younger who like construction equipment. It would also appeal to young children who enjoy singing. The Tracks on the Excavator is an excellent book that would be a great addition to a preschool class or personal library.

Kolbi transformed a well known song into a masterpiece. The song is familiar to the children and they will be learning something new. This was a good suprise. I didn't think it would be as good as think. Kids will enjoy it too if I'm right.

Undoubtedly, this book will appeal to children who adore construction machinery. It's not just about showing the students what each excavator part is called; rather, the lesson involves more than that. The book also highlights additional crucial components of a job site. A really instructive and educational book.

The review is simple yet comprehensive. Great job.
