      When hard work needs to get done, who're you gonna call? Young construction-vehicle mavens will enjoy this fun romp that takes them through a cheery bright-orange excavator's typical workday: crushing garbage and loading it into a dump truck; helping with the installation of a new water pipe after the old one broke and spewed water through a city street; and digging a deep, wide hole in which to plant the mayor's new tree. Through all these tough, painstaking tasks, the excavator "wears" an ever present smiling face, headlights standing in for large, bright eyes. Jaunty verses that mostly read and scan well narrate the brisk proceedings, and listeners are likely to want to chime in whenever the excavator's assistance is called for in refrains such as "We need you, Orange Excavator!"--set in orange type, of course. The unfamiliar word excavator in itself should excite little ones because of its length, juicy mouth feel, and aural appeal. Kids will also appreciate the lively, though generic, illustrations; enhancing visual interest are several words throughout set in larger, colored capitals. The excavator's driver is brown-skinned; other workers and passersby are diverse in skin tone and age. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Especially for fans of big trucks and machinery. (Board book. 2-4)
