My son loves these books by Sally Sutton! We found Roadwork at the library and were checking it out so often that I finally bought it! We also have "Demolition"and I just added "Construction" to our book wish list. My 2 year old loves all the trucks in this book, we read it almost everyday.
This is a book that I purchased for my 2 year old son when he loved the one we found at the library. We love the illustrations which are simple and colorful. It's a wonderful text with fun rhyming and onomatopoeia (a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes). It also takes kids through the process of road building. It's great for preschoolers but my elementary aged son had a lot of fun pouring over it too and loved to read it to his brother. I highly recommend this book for boys that are reluctant readers.
A good description of how a road is made. This book is attractive with simple but accurate illustrations, and charming rhymes with "sound" words. I appreciated that there are a few female workers in the pictures. I bought it for a 3 year old, but I think it is too young for her - it will go to the younger one who is not yet two who will enjoy it for some time to come. Reading level may be 4-8, but appropriate age is younger.
We received this as a gift for my son's second birthday. It's one of our new favorite books - perfect for any young truck lover. It goes through the process of building a road, and all the trucks and workers involved. The first line is repeated twice on each page, which some might find annoying. I thought it was cute and made it more of a sing songy type of read - especially with the noise words at the end of each verse, like "ping, bang, tap!" My son really gets into those parts and loves saying them with us. I also like how there are female construction workers, and they even stop to break for a nice healthy lunch! It's very educational AND fun. It's definitely one of our most favorite books and is read on a daily basis!
Very cute illustrations; my grandsons loved the book. It is a favorite for naps and nightime. If you have a little boy ages 2-6, they'll like this book.This item was purchased at full listed price and without any discount codes or other compensation of any kind, and the opinions are my own unbiased opinions.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sally Sutton's books. Roadwork, Construction, Demolition...they are all books that should be a part of your little one's library. It opens up some great conversation about the process of building and what the machines and workers do. Our son chooses to read these books every night, over and over again!
OMG! My 2.5 yr old loves this. We've been struggling to find a book to keep his attention longer than 2 pages, and this was it. He even wants to read it 2-3 times in a row. Of course he also currency has a huge fascination with construction equipment and bug trucks, so that helps that he already know the names of the trucks on each page.
If your kid is like mine and utterly obsessed with trucks, this book will be well loved! It is a great read aloud book. Thee illustrations are great and clear. More like the process of building a road than a story. It shows you what each truck does in the process. We love to read this over and over and over and over.
