Books Jack Reads

In the forth book in Betty Gilderdale's classic series, the little yellow digger has an important job to do: digging a new swimming pool for a local primary school. But when the digger accidentally hits an underground pipe and leaves the school without water, the class gets an unexpected field trip...

​

If your kids are obsessed with construction vehicles, then this book will be perfect for them. There are five books in total in this series, and this one is the forth.

​

Told in simple rhyming style, kids will enjoy hearing about the mess the broken pipe causes, as well as how the digger and his driver fix the damage.

​

And as always, kids will enjoy seeing all of Alan Gilderdale's signature illustrations, especially the teacher and principal getting knocked over by the gushing water!

​

There's also a secret challenge for kids as well, as there's a black cat somewhere in most of the pictures. Can your kid find it?

​

Overall this is another classic Kiwi story from an award-winning author, and an absolute essential for your child's bookshelf.
