Nolan is so excited when he finds a backhoe to bring home as a pet. He has a lot of work to do, as the backhoe doesn't always do what it should. Digging in his mother's flower bed is not what his parents think is appropriate. So Nolan sets off to train him. Then one day he sees a notice of a missing backhoe. So he has to return him. His parents say he is finally responsible to have a pet. You'll never guess what he has in mind. Ages 4-8  $15.99 Harper
