If I had any money in my book budget right now I'd buy 2 more copies. Even with the sturdier book boards and stiffer paper, this one is going to get loved to death by little boys--and some little girls too.
Bright bold art, just enough text. Rhymes that work and formed in a question/answer form that will lead to shout outs and repeat readings.
In other words, a GREAT book to add to your shelves full of Margaret Mayo, Jonathan London, the McMullans and other current authors doing books of this ilk...more

"I love the wrecking ball."
I love construction right now. I love to play with large trucks. When we are driving, I ask Mama and Papa to slow down when we get near construction so that I can see the big machines working.
Mama likes this book because I am practicing the alphabet. This book has big lettered words. We can stop at each page and look at the letters and see how they make words that I am very interested in saying.

Fun rhyming. Bright, cheerful pictures. I like the asking of what is needed--kids would love to call out, especially if they pick up on the rhyming part. This would work in a preschool storytime as well as a lap-read. But I really don't like the ending. In my speech, "poem" and "home" do not rhyme. If I do this in storytime, I'd skip that part.
Nice bold + colorful illustrations, limited but fun (rhyming) text. I think this will be very popular with the toddler/preschool crowd who cannot get enough of the whole machines/things that go/construction sort of materials. I wish it were a bit larger trim size, but it is big enough to use successfully in a typical storytime setting.
Great for the construction and tool-obsessed toddlers and young preschoolers in your life. Large, bright pictures with diverse characters will carry well for storytimes. There are even a few welcome atypical plot elements for a toddler construction book.
Bright illustrations, short rhyming text, construction vehicles and the story of a new home. Okay, the toy-like illustrations aren't my favorite, but it will be a HIT at storytime (2s/3s).
If you have a child who loves trucks & construction equipment read them this book. Great pictures and simple text. I used this for Tiny Tots Class.
Great bright illustrations and a good choice for focusing on vocabulary. I will definitely use this the next time I do a "Construction" storytime.
Bright pictures, diverse characters, and a rhyming chant that begs to be screamed aloud! Tons of fun!
Very simple introduction to construction trucks, with simple, boldly colored illustrations.
One of the cutest construction themed books I've seen. It's simple, just right for Luke.
Nicely illustrated. Would make a nice interactive choice for sharing.
Good color pictures. Easy rhymes with the building of a house.
Great construction book for toddlers, but it's a little long.
Direct appeal for a young audience, bold illustrations.
Sure to be a hit with preschool boys.
Trucks, construction
Various construction equipment is depicted in primary colors that is necessary to demolish a building and then to build a house in its place.
