DESCRIPTION:
Thonk! Clonk! Clap! The team behind Roadwork and Demolition returns to the construction site, where big machines and busy workers dig, hoist, and hammer away.There’s lots of noise and excitement involved in building a library! Preschoolers will clamor to take a close look. Award-winning duo Sally Sutton and Brian Lovelock are back with another rhythmic read-aloud full of bustling illustrations and sound words that beg kids to join in.
Michelle Davis said One of the best books for junior builders. We started with the Roadwork book, which has been in my son's library since he was a year old. For his third birthday, I added Construction and Demolition to our selection, and they've gone down a treat. If you have a kid who is interested in how things are made (or demolished) I highly recommend these books. They have deceptively simple artwork which manages to be surprisingly detailed. The swingy rhymes and sound-effects make for easy reading-aloud fare. We are definitely fans in this household.. a MUST for any construction-loving-kid! Melissa I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sally Sutton's books. Roadwork, Construction, Demolitionthey are all books that should be a part of your little one's library. It opens up some great conversation about the process of building and what the machines and workers do. Our son chooses to read these books every night, over and over again!. Wonderful book if you have a child that is into construction vehicles than this is a book for you! My son loves these books. FYI This is the second time I have bought this book. The first being the paperback.The hard cover will obviously last you longer when you have a younger child and is worth the extra couple dollars.

A picture vocabulary at the end identifies excavators, cranes, and trucks on site as well as the safety equipment worn by workers. "Spread the paint. Spread the paint./Bend and stretch and stoop./ Let it dry, then paint some more./Glug! GLOP! GLOOP!" Children put books on the shelves, and the final spread shows them entering their own glass-enclosed children's room and reading. Printed in large, clear letters, the rhythmic text uses basic vocabulary, strong verbs, and onomatopoeia, making it wonderful to read aloud. Clad in safety gear, men and women of different ethnic backgrounds cut the planks, raise the roof, fit the doors and windows, lay the pipes, and run the wires. The simplicity of the telling and the rich details in the spreads make this a must-have for all libraries serving young children.—Mary Jean Smith, formerly at
