From School Library Journal
PreS-K-Kids love construction and are especially fascinated with the big trucks and equipment that make things happen. This winning title playfully yet accurately shows the different machines that are involved in building a new road. Simple, large-font, rhyming text describes each step of the process in a way that will captivate young ones. The engaging illustrations depict the vehicles with smiling faces. Portraying everything from a whimsical pink bulldozer clearing the open land to a scrappy paint marker applying the finishing yellow and white lines, the pages provide much to explore. An interactive turning wheel on the cover is a nice touch that is sure to grab children's attention. VERDICT Toddlers and preschoolers will delight in sharing this again and again as they learn about road construction from the ground up. A strong purchase for most shelves.—Mary Jennings, Camano Island Library, WA
