House construction

This book is suitable for young independent readers or as a read aloud to preschoolers/kindergarteners. A great way for them to learn about all the machinery used on a construction site. Sentences are simple and in a large, plain font for easy reading with the bold words explained in a picture glossary in the back of the book.

What is covered in this book?
Why are there machines at a construction site? * Which machines help break things up? (Wreaking ball and powerful drills) * Which get the ground ready for building? (Bulldozer. motor grader and wheel loaders) * Which carry rocks, soil and sand? (Wheel loaders and dump trucks) * What are digging machines used for and can they do other jobs? (Excavators and bulldozers) * What is a backhoe loader? * Which are used to reach high places? (Cranes)

For what it is, this book is well written. A great book for introducing children to big machinery and their uses. HOWEVER it is very generalized and there are no nitty-gritty details on the actual machines. For children wanting to learn more in depth about a certain machine I would advise you to purchase a book just dedicated to that machine.

My son love’s it! Just what I was looking for.
