"In Backhoes, emergent readers will learn about the parts and functions of a backhoe. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage early readers as they discover how a construction worker uses the machine to dig up dirt and a broken pipe. A labeled diagram helps readers identify different parts of a backhoe, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about backhoes online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Backhoes also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index. Backhoes is part of Jump!'s Construction Zone series"-- Provided by publisher.
