Remember the little yellow digger
that got stuck in the mud? Then they got a bigger digger to try to get it out
and the bigger digger got stuck too? From that first story created in 1993 by
Betty Gilderdale for her three small grandsons more Little Yellow Digger stories grew and have been so much in demand
they have been in print ever since Here are all five little yellow digger
stories with the original illustrations and the same shape - much heavier though
and not so easy to spread comfortably on your knee! - but the words roll around your tongue . Even after 22 years these
remain great stories to read aloud and for the children to create their own
extensions to the stories as they look at the images.
Preschool/ Age 4 up
