Intriguingly Fun Origin of Tools named after Animals

My construction vehicle loving 4 year old is obsessed. He wants to hang the bull dozer and crane up in his room. This is his equivalent of a coffee table book.It helps kids (and adults) understand compound words and the origins of names through humor. My 7 year old enjoys the intriguing history lesson.

Good book... Presumably damaged in shipping

I really like this book for my students. Unfortunately, there was a white crust on the book cover.
