    Praise

    Raves for Little Excavator:

    * “Pitch perfect…[Dewdney] has constructed a solid winner for one of her final books, with an appealing main character, vibrant illustrations with varying perspectives, and an action-packed, rhyming text with sound effects just begging to be read aloud with dramatic effect. An A+ for Little E and his creator.”–Kirkus, starred review
