Oh oh! Two workers have left their truck on the beach while they have lunch. The sand is a lot softer than they thought, and it’s beginning to swallow the truck’s tyres.

Oh no! Can anyone help?

The Little Yellow Digger lives close by with its driver, and they are soon ready to rescue!

At first, the track seems stuck… but The Little Yellow Digger is good at its job.

THUNK goes the truck as it finally comes out of the sand. That doesn’t sound right. Charlie the dog jumps in the hole. What has he found?

Continuing the legacy of Betty and Alan Gilderdale, their son Peter and multi award winning illustrator Fifi Colston bring The Little Yellow Digger into more young lives.

This adventure has a rescue, a discovery and treasure – at least everyone hopes it is!
