Synopsis
What's even more exciting to young kids than seeing big machines that build things? Watching the massive ones that tear them down! Crush the stone. Crush the stone. Chip and grind and munch. Make new concrete from the old. Whirr! Churr! Crunch! From the huge crane with a swinging ball (crack!) to the toothy jaws that ram the walls (thwock!), this rambunctious demolition, reverberating with sound words, is guaranteed to have small kids rapt. Bright spreads showcase the gargantuan machines in all their glory, and a pictorial glossary explains what each one can do. This is a great book for all kids who like machines. It has great read-aloud potential, with lots of onomatopoeic words. It includes a pictorial glossary of the machines with a short explanation of what each one does.

Review
Sutton's rhythmic text, full of onomatopoeia and muscular action words, captures the excitement and energy of big trucks hard at work and powerful machinery bashing concrete and metal. Lovelock's meticulous illustrations, rendered in pigmented ink, give the job site a suitably dusty patina and put the equipment and vehicles center stage, where young fans will want them...This is all about as good as it gets for truck-obsessed preschoolers.--The Horn Book (starred review)Smashing good fun for preschoolers of both genders.--Kirkus ReviewsA visually and verbally emphatic delight for younger readers who are stuck on trucks.--Booklist
