My son loves this book, it’s fun for him to say goodnight to each construction vehicle. He loves construction sites and I love that this is a fun way for him to learn the basic function of each machine to nurture his curiosity.

Although I’m reading this to my son, it disappoints me that every single truck is referred to as “he”, implying they are all male. I want my son to grow up already knowing women can do all the jobs men can do, and this seems to reinforce gender biases that we work so hard to tear down. Sure, I can read “she” instead of “he”, and I do, my three year old doesn’t know, but, I’m deeply disappointed that the female author of this book didn’t think to make even one of these machines female. This is why I cannot give the book 5 stars. 4/5
