What's the Story?
The big machines are out working again in CONSTRUCTION SITE: ROAD CREW, COMING THROUGH! The excavators, skid steer, compactor, cement mixer, and other mechanical friends join together to build a superhighway so drivers can get where they need to go. They start early, scraping, hauling, shaping, pouring and working together until the project is done. When the day is over, the friends on the road crew go to sleep, tired and proud of their work.
Is It Any Good?
With fun words in perfect verse and stunning images on every page, this delightful read from Sherri Duskey Rinker is among the best read-aloud books for young truck enthusiasts.
