Dean's Diggers is a captivating, colorful board book for children. The book features look and find, lift the flaps, an alphabet page and a magnetic puzzle. Each page features many fun things to find: spiders, squirrels, hard hats, tape measures and gloves, just to name a few. Under the flaps you can read about many different items, including a screwdriver, Righty tighty, lefty loosey, turn it tight, not loosey goosey, and a flag, Flappety flap, roll and wave, red, white and blue, home of the brave. Also on each page you will find Dean enthusiastically telling about each digger and having a blast working on the site! Children will learn about excavators, graders, wheel loaders, and bull dozers and have a smashing good time doing it! At the end of the book, an alphabet page matches up with tools and everyday items: A - anvil, S - shovel, and X - x-ray (you might have to get one if you get hurt on the job!). The final page is a magnetic puzzle with Dean and his excavator buddy, Dusty. This puzzle will not fall out, the pieces stay in place, and it can even be put together on your refrigerator! Dean's Diggers is unlike any others out on the market, and with so many different things to read and do in the book, it will be any child's favorite book for years to come.

Another Great Book for Boys
If there is a boy in your home, family, or circle of friends, you'll want to know about Dean's Diggers by author/artist Eddie Ritz. I can tell you that if our son were growing up today, this is exactly the kind of book he would have reached for.
This unique book is colorful and informative as well as interactive. Each page contains pictures of heavy earthmoving equipment. There are flaps to open which highlight various items on each page.
The next to last page contains the alphabet and describes things like H for hammer, or W for wrench.
A favorite will surely be the puzzle on the last page. Its pieces are magnetic. They can either be stuck back onto their page, or applied to metal surfaces like your refrigerator or dishwasher.
Dean's Diggers is a sturdy book that will hold up to lots of use, and that's exactly what I believe this book will get.
In his promotion for the book, Eddie asks the question, "How do you get boys interested in Reading?" He answers that question with a wonderful book that you and your boys are sure to love. Find more information at http://www.deansdiggers.com//

The year is 1750. A lonely boy named Joey stumbles into a parallel world behind his family’s farmhouse, and is elated to find his old friend Ben there. Together they join an expedition to retrieve a “gusher”—a buoyant, glowing sphere that holds an as-yet unthought-of brilliant idea. With a crack team of finders, diggers, seers, and winders, they face bloodthirsty trolls, an insane miner, and unrelenting hardships on their quest.
Accolades: Selected by Independent Publisher as one of the best newly released, independently published titles, exhibiting superior levels of creativity and originality.

Nothing stops Noah
by Shari Lyle-SoffeReading Level: Ages 2 - 6Reviewed by Kathy Davis on February 06 2009 19:23:03
In this picture book, we meet Noah, a thoughtful young boy who wants to buy a present for his mom. Hey, can't buy a present with no money, so Noah calls up his grandpa and asks for a job at his pet store. Grandpa hires him based on his qualifications-he could count. But Noah forgot to mention he could only count to ten. Based on Noah's miscount on the rawhide bones, grandpa thinks he's nearly out and rushes out to buy more, leaving Noah in charge of the animals. Oh my. Noah gets in over his head when the animals all get loose. But since nothing stops Noah, he somehow manages to pull it all together before Grandpa gets back.
This is a cute story, and the loud and colorful illustrations on every page give the book a zany feel. The story itself is just right for your little ones who might be just starting to read, and for those who would like to read a fun tale about a boy who doesn't let even the most crazy of circumstances damper his day!
