This simple, colorful, nonfiction book shows which equipment is appropriate for certain construction jobs.
This is an Australian book so they use words like "lorry" and "headlamps". The equipment is not particularly anthropomorphic, but the vehicles do have eyes and smiles.
In the front cover I see that one of the National Library of Australia cataloguing-in-publication entries is "polarity-juvenile literature". I had to think about this one for a while. There are some "use this machine not that machine" discussions in the book, so they must mean that there are some opposites, but I would not say that this is a book about opposites.
For those who love Bob the Builder, Handy Manny, John Deere, etc. this is another one for your library.
