Synopsis

When a hole appears in the road, the workers have to use lots of different big machines to help them fix it. Diggers, road rollers, dump trucks - everything has an important job to do. Follow the workers as they clear the rubble, add crushed stones, pour on the hot asphalt, make sure the surface is flat and clean the road so that the traffic can move smoothly.

About this title

About the Author:

Ian S. Wood is a Lecturer in History at Napier University, Edinburgh and a tutor with the Open University.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-K—Wood's straightforward plot focuses on the use of construction equipment and work vehicles. A multicultural team goes about its business repairing a hole in the road while curious onlookers observe. Each spread includes two short sentences that reiterate what's happening in the full-color artwork. The illustrations establish a happy mood; they portray attentive children watching the workers complete their jobs. Wood incorporates great details into the art; dogs are tucked into pictures, and some of the spreads add their own visual subplots. Vehicles found within the book are replicated on the endpapers. This slight story is a worthy additional purchase where materials on construction are popular.—Lynn K. Vanca, Akron-Summit County Public Library, Richfield, OH
