Overall, it was a good book that my toddler enjoyed. I gave it four stars because some of the words were harder and kind of niche. Also, it would have worked better for my toddlers understanding to have each letter on its own page. The illustrations were great and easy to understand which is important for a toddler book.

A cute ABC book based on construction. This book uses a bit more advanced terms than other construction books for toddlers I've read, but overall I think they chose good words. (Except Y is for yellow, that's a little disappointing) I wish they dedicated each letter to its own page, to allow for bigger illustrations and avoiding confusing for smaller children. I do like that they illustrated both men and women working in construction.

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

I like this cute ABC book about all things construction. The pictures draw you in and the information will hold little car and truck lovers attention..

I think that this book's uniqueness and specificity hindered its effectiveness. Sometimes it's really great when a book zooms in on a specific topic or thing, but this book was just a little too niche. Lots of little kids are interested in things related to construction, but this book went way into depth with that. Now, a handful of kids will appreciate this deep dive, but I believe that majority will not. For some examples, quarry and underground utilities are *way* too advanced for kids that are just starting to get familiar with the alphabet. This could potentially cause unnecessary confusion because kids won't know what these words mean, and they won't be paying attention to the letters of the alphabet. However, I will say that I enjoyed the detailed and crisp illustrations because they complimented the overall book really well.

The perfect alphabet book for any construction loving toddler! I wish this had been around just a year ago and it would have been the perfect age/stage for my son. But he loved it and was able to do a lot of the letter recognition and truck recognition too. I think it is perfect for age 3 kiddos.But, like I said, my son at age 4 still loved it! Great pictures and good variety of construction trucks too!

To start, I'd like to extend a thank you to the author, Cynthia Clumeck Muchnick, Familius, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this cute children's picture board book about construction and the alphabet. I will share my review to Amazon, Goodreads, and Barnes & Noble upon release. Each page has cute, individual illustrations to line up with letters of the alphabet. The construction terms and equipment/tools shown will be very visually entertaining and engaging for little ones interested in construction and building. The illustrations and terms are helpful for facilitating discussion with kids that will improve their critical thinking skills and vocabulary. I thought this was a very cute and giftable baby book, and I will look for it in stores when it releases. I would recommend this to any young child's home library or a school/daycare/church library.

A delightfully engaging ABC primer for the construction site, featuring a clever selection of vehicles, tools, and terminology. The colourful illustrations and simple wording add to the brilliance of this book for the younger demographic.

My toddler particularly loved the H is for Hard Hat, J is for Jackhammer, Q is for Quarry and T is for Toolbelt. This book offers a fun way to engage in early letter sounds, through the theme of a construction site.

With thanks to Familius and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy, in exchange for an honest review.

This book would make a brilliant book for young children who are curious about building or construction.

Age: 1-3
No rhythm/rhyming
Easy to read

Rating: 3/5 - this book is fine but not one that I will add to our library

A child who loves construction trucks will probably enjoy this book. I found the theme to be a little looser than I expected. I would have also liked some sort of rhythm or rhyming to catch the attention of younger children. It's fine but not spectacular so I wouldn't add it to my personal library.

Perfect for your little builder

This book tied in relevant construction terms with each corresponding letter of the alphabet. I could see this quickly becoming a staple book for many.

The illustrations clearly showed the word each letter stood for that made you feel like you were in an illustrated construction site.

This book would be a perfect gift for a blue-collar family or little one who like to ‘build things/play with tools’.

Simple and straightforward. I paged through with my 5yo and we discussed the words she didn't already know (I-beam, welder). I'm sure this will be appreciated by little ones.

Thank you for the ARC. I will purchase for my library.

My two year old son has been absolutely cherishing this book! It’s such a fun way to learn the ABCs with fun pictures and a fun theme So cute!

My toddlers will love this when I buy the physical copy on June 30th!

A great little alphabet book tailored around construction terminology and equipment. It’s apparent that the selected terms were well thought out. A few prompted curiosity from my son which lead to learning. I will never not be happy when a book encourages my kids to seek knowledge! The illustrations were super cute.

I will recommend to any young construction enthusiasts (and their parents)!

Thank you Familius, NetGalley, and Cynthia Clumeck Muchnik for the ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

As a mom with a toddler obsessed with construction, this book gets our stamp of approval. It has darling illustrations and I really love what element of construction was chosen for each letter.

So cute!! I work in Construction and just had a son and this will be the perfect book for him as he grows older. The illustration is great and the items sued are perfect for the construction field.
