This non-fiction, educational chapter book will be a hit for those kids who love mighty machines. It documents a variety of vehicles that you would find on a construction site such as: bulldozer, concrete mixer, dump truck, executor, flatbed truck, forklift, and front end loader just to name a few.

Key words are printed in bold text and are defined in the glossary at the back of the book. Also included is an index and places you can visit for extra information about these incredible machines. The photos are crisp, colourful and animate the text.

The chapters include:

"1. A Busy Site
2. Goodbye, Old Building
3, A Fresh Start
4. Hello, New Building
5. Glossary
6. For More Information
7. Index
8. About the Author"

Kids are always mesmerized by any form of these monster vehicles and will be fascinated to learn how what they contribute on a construction site. They will love to learn how they must work together to get a huge project competed. I highly recommend this book.
