Tip Tip Dig Dig
Written and Illustrated by Emma Garcia
Published by Boxer Books
I've previously featured Toot Toot Beep Beep by Emma Garcia on this blog but we actually got Tip Tip Dig Dig first as part of a free book pack from our Health Visitor checkup.
Like Toot Toot Beep Beep, Tip Tip Dig Dig features a variety of vehicles going about their daily business. In Garcia's trademark "torn up bits of paper" art style, each page shows a scene of a piece of machinery getting down to the tricky business of creating something out of a pile of rubbish. From diggers to tippers through rollers and bulldozers and beyond, if your toddler's a fan of anything like Bob the Builder, or just loves a great book full of engaging pictures, then this is worth picking up.
Charlotte's best bit: For some reason, the "crocodile" on the first page (that's actually a tree stump!)
Daddy's Favourite Bit: The sad teddy turning into a happy teddy at the end of the book.

Written and Illustrated by Emma Garcia
Amazon Link: £4.84
Like Emma Garcia's other books, the bold collages and superbly bouncy script make Toot Toot Beep Beep a great book to read to a bouncy toddler. Each of the vehicles in the story has its own personality and children will enjoy finding a favourite amongst the collection of cars, trucks and vans.
Charlotte's best bit: Pointing to each of the windows in each vehicle and saying which family member sits where (Charlotte always sits in the front seat!)
Daddy's favourite bit: The green camper. I've always wanted one of those!
