Unwrapping Some Wonderful Illustrations for You 

The Book

Dex, a little red crane, and his very tall operator, Pete, have been requested to fill an important BIG project that is far away.  As they journey along they meet up with a myriad of humungous cranes assigned to different types of jobs.  

Dex, upon witnessing the strength and important of these cranes begins to feel intimated and very small.  Is he going to be able to successfully complete the job he is on his way to undertake?  The powerful inspiring message tells readers that we all are unique and each of us have a custom-made job that we are more than capable of performing.  

Wow!  Who knew so many types of cranes existed?  I learned a lot.  Kids will love to see these powerful mighty machines in different scenarios carrying out the jobs that they were created to do.  

The illustrations are beautifully done.  They are bright and colourful and enrich the text greatly.  Little ones will be filled with a sense of wonder as they flip the pages of the book and learn about these gigantic machines that oftentimes they can see in real life.  The author has included a section entitled, "Fun Facts About Cranes" at the end of the book for deeper understanding of these incredible monsters.  Storywraps recommends this book!
