This is my 2-year-old’s favorite book. It’s a great book that will help your toddler develop early speaking, listening and observational skills as they learn to recognize and identify tractors, diggers, trucks, and more. Chunky tactile tabs invite little hands to turn the page and improve dexterity. Your child will love pointing to and naming the different machines. On each page, you can find questions and activities.
3. Big Stuff Dozer, Excavator, Mixer & More!
This book is intended for kids 3-5, but I think it’s great for toddlers. They can grow into that book because It is divided into easy and more complex topics. For example, one page has a vehicle and a short paragraph, which is perfect for younger kids, and the second page has some fun facts and history about this vehicle.

This book has colorful illustrations of cars, trucks, trains, and other favorite things that go. It pairs favorite vehicles with a proven approach designed to help toddlers learn to talk.

5. Trucks
I was surprised how my 2-year-old remembered all of the names after reading this book to him for a week. With bright, easy-to-turn pages and a new vehicle on every page, this book is perfect for the youngest truck-lovers. The combination of colorful pictures and simple words will help to build your child’s vocabulary.
6. Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night?
No wonder this book has over one million copies sold. Truck-obsessed toddlers will want to make this fun-filled construction tale part of their nightly bedtime routine. It has vibrant illustrations and a sweet rhyming text. I think this book is great for feeding kids’ imaginations because it helps them wonder what trucks do after they’ve put in a long day’s work.
7. Toot Toot Beep Beep
This book is very simple and entertaining for little ones. Colorful cars beep-beep, toot-toot, vroom-vroom, and whoosh across these collage-like pages, inviting kids along on an entertaining trip. Toddlers will love joining in with the sounds, reading them aloud as they watch a little red jeep, a big blue van, and a big yellow taxi pass by.
8. Maisy’s Recycling Truck
Maisy’s Recycling Truck is a delightful addition to the Maisy’s series, which we absolutely love. There is also Maisy’s ambulance, fire truck, sports car, digger, bus, rocket, tractor, and more. This book has charming characters, an engaging storyline, and valuable lessons and will for sure delight toddlers and their parents.
