Vroom! Bang! Clunk! With giant wheels and huge loud engines, big machines are an exciting part of learning about how the world is constructed. From the farm to the ocean, let’s look at some big machines and what they can do, with rhymes and sounds!
Big Machines incorporates photographs, rhymes, onomatopoeia to engage little learners with the world of big machines used in the local and broader community. Some are familiar, like firetrucks and cranes, and others like tugboats and rock drillers may not be.
