Very disappointed

"I bought a book and a RC excavator hoping to get for grandsons birthday they said it was in route and on the day of his birthday in October they said there was a mess up I would get it buy Christmas . I didn’t order it for Christmas . I ask for a full refund the next day they sent the book and no excavator still waiting for that if it does not come my credit card company will be getting a call . I am extremely disappointed with this company and the sad part is its still up on the website for sale with no back order notice . I think it is wrong for this type of of business to still go on"

Worth the Work - Book and Excavator Toy

"The book is fantastic, we loved reading it together. The RC Excavator works for about 2 min. and then looses signal and stops responding, every time. It is rather frustrating, we tried to bring it outside away from any interference with the 2.4 hrz signal range and it STILL runs for maybe 2 min. before it stops responding. I get that this is a Book, and the toy is extra, but I feel like if its a faulty toy, it should no be sold or offered. The Book is very nice though."

Love the Book

"Bought for my 4 year old nephew as a Christmas gift. He is a huge fan of heavy equipment, but especially excavators. Andrew Camarata is amazing and we are big fans, so naturally we purchased his book. Not disappointed! The tone and language are spot on for a toddler audience."

— Eric P. (5/5)

Teaching great values to kids

"Bought this book to be able to read with and build into my grandsons. Love the content, the message and the quality of the thick paper pages. I really appreciate a book like this to be able to pass on life lesson to future generations."

— Jerry I. (5/5)

Maybe I received a bad copy.

"The story made no sense. It seemed like pages were missing. (Or at least I hope that was the case). I was looking forward to reading this for years with my son and daughter because their names are in the book but it’s so disjointed it makes little sense to them."

— Frank V. (1/5)

"Everything was worth the money spent. Not to mention how affordable it was. My boyfriend is a mechanic and we have slowly been buying chikdrens books for when we have a family in the future. He has alwaya enjoyed watching andrews videos and was very excited when this package came in. Such a lovely childrens book."

— Helen (5/5)

Great book!

"The author passes down a very important rule to live by that he learned from his father. We should leave the planet a little better and more beautiful than we found it. Good job Andrew! You did it again!"

— Deborah K. (5/5)

Worth the Wait!

"We preordered this book and were very pleased with this book when we received it. A great read for encouraging hard work and passing on the value of this to our children."

Worth the Work

"Ordered this book for my grandson for his birthday. Wonderful, illustrated book but very disappointed that we are still waiting for the Excavator to arrive. I understand delays but why have preorders and then ship without the whole bundle."

Time-tested values

"My sons loved this book! Ever since I put the order in, they began anticipating it. Finally, it arrived. They read it immediately! The time-tested values are precious! Thank you!"
