story time

i love children’s books. i can be in the children section of a bookstore forever. i love the simplicity of the stories created for young intelligent minds & the beautiful illustrations that come with it.

i bought 2 books for an the other day. both books are clearly transportation/occupation & construction site/machinery related. books that can interest him for a good long time.

the 1st book has this special window in every page. it’s a see-through piece, somewhat like an ohp transparency with realistic images of a work site – dump truck, cement mixer, crane, fork lift, etc. it was a rather costly small book but the creativity of the author & illustrator is brilliant.



the 2nd book teaches a child to ponder on the given situation & discover the best solution with the aid of a wheel. it’s not too hard for youngsters cos coloured clues are offered to match the solutions from the wheel.


an was glued to both books instantly. the end.
