Bruiser was a machine on a mission.
“Oi! Get outof my way!” he said.
“I’ve got a motorway to build!”
On Monday he ploughs through five hills, Tuesday he crushes ten rocks, one Wednesday he tears up three forests … until Friday when he gets stuck in a ditch. He makes such a racket trying to get out he wakes up the magpie chick and Mother Magpie is not impressed. Will he get out and what will happen to the magpie family?
A digger story for the four-year-old boy who is impressed with big machines. I remember my son being obsessed with road machinery – he would have adored this story. I love the way Gavin has woven an environmental message into the story; with the digger changing his ways and caring for nature after his experience with the magpie family. Sure to be a hit!
