Each book even has a vocabulary at the end and I learned a few words myself. (I didn't know that diggers have jacks to keep ...

Great book, but I did not pay close enough attention to the reccommended age limit. It really is a bit too much for my 7 year old. 9 years and up is accurate. It is a very fun book though, with lots of activities and things to make.
