What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about Web site navigation. What should kids do if they lose their way? Have they tried using the "back" button to retrace their steps? Have new pages opened up on top of where they started?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
This is the greatest site on big machines ever. Friends of bulldozers, dump trucks, wheel loaders, and other equipment will not be disappointed.

That said, the site is not without its flaws. There could be better internal navigation within the site. Sometimes you get to a section that is a dead-end and you'll have to use your browser's back button to get anywhere else. And some parts of the English version of the site seem to suffer in translation, both of language and culture. The "Tower of Scoop" story, for example, is just, well, odd. Harmless, but odd -- it doesn't make a lot of sense.
