Excavators Xmas! Where Do Diggers Celebrate Christmas? by Brianna Caplan Sayres

WHERE DO MIXERS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
AFTER A DAY OF HIGHWAY FIXING?
DO THEY GATHER WITH THEIR FAMILIES
FOR SOME HOMEY EGGGNOG MIXING?

How do big construction machines spend Christmas?

After a year of excavation, big machines are ready for some celebration.

Forklifts lift tons of toys and treats, and food trucks morph into menus for Christmas eats.

And where there's some holiday ice, Zambonis make it smooth and nice.

And every tiny tot wants to know...

WHERE DO TOW TRUCKS SPEND CHRISTMAS
AFTER TOWING CARS ALL DAY?
DO THEY TRADE PLACES WITH THE REINDEER
AND HELP SANTA CLAUS PULL HIS SLEIGH?

What do diggers do? Just what we do at Christmastide, in Brianna Caplan Sayres jolly new Where Do Diggers Celebrate Christmas? (Random House, 2018). Author Sayres offers up warm servings of Yuletide quatrains about big machines having holiday fun, while noted artist Christian Slade provides the charming Christmasy caricatures of construction equipment in their holiday habitats, in a picture book with scads of kid appeal, especially in the closing in which the big machines morph into their toy versions waiting under the tree for those little fans of things that go VRROOOMMM! VRROOOMMM! Pair this one with Sherry Duskey Rinker's newest best-seller, Construction Site on Christmas Night, (recent review here) for a timely twosome for a little motorhead lover's Christmas stocking.
