Follow the excavator as it helps protect homes from falling in the sea. This real-world rhyming story takes children on a journey from the quarry to the coastline, where huge rocks are carefully placed to help protect beaches from the power of the sea. Along the way, they discover the people, vehicles and processes involved in keeping our coastlines safe. Written especially for children who love excavators, the story uses their fascination with construction vehicles as a gateway to understanding how the world works. Beautifully illustrated by Richard O'Neill, every page is filled with authentic scenes that encourage children to spot familiar machinery while making connections with the world around them. Children will discover: Why huge rocks are placed along the coast. How excavators help build coastal defences. Where the rocks come from before they reach the beach. The challenges of working around the tides and weather. Show more
