Synopsis

Ten mighty dump trucks rolling down the road.
Nine earthmovers scraping up
a load . . .

Count down from ten to one with the busy
construction trucks!

Something wonderful is going on, and every kind of truck has an important job. But what are all those bulldozers and backhoes doing? This bright and lively counting book will delight young construction fans everywhere.

Construction Countdown is a 2005 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

About the Authors

K. C. Olson is a children's librarian in the Midwest. The inspiration for her book Construction Countdown came from her son, who taught her everything she knows about construction equipment and whose sandbox, unfortunately, isn't nearly large enough. Construction Countdown is Ms. Olson's first book.

David Gordon has done conceptual work for the Pixar/Disney blockbusters Toy Story, Toy Story II, and A Bug's Life. He has also illustrated a book and done work for numerous magazines. An avid fan of all kinds of trucks, he lives in New York.
