Arguably NZ's best-loved children's book, now in a new larger format, hardback gift edition!
When digging out a drain,
the little yellow digger gets stuck in the mud.
So they bring in a bigger digger…
Betty Gilderdale-author, critic and a founder member of the New Zealand Children's Literature Association-wrote The Little Yellow Digger after a similar situation occurred at her daughter's home. The illustrator of this book, husband Alan Gilderdale, was an art lecturer, artist and printmaker.
This favourite New Zealand picture book has become a classic.
