In Backhoes, emergent readers will learn about the functions of a backhoe. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage early readers as they discover how the machine is used to put in an underground pipe. A labeled diagram helps readers identify different parts of a backhoe, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about backhoes online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Backhoes also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index. Backhoes is part of Jump!'s Machines at Work series.
