My Best Pop-Up Construction Site Book

18p. illus. photos. DK. Sept. 2016. Board $14.99. ISBN 9781465453914.
COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 1--Excavators, cement trucks, and forklifts are among the large, digitally imposed vehicles that pop up throughout this oversize book. Each spread focuses on a different construction stage of an apartment building and includes text that describes what each heavy machine can accomplish ("Cranes are strong machines that move heavy objects, such as window frames."). Small workers are featured in each spread and provide additional commentary in the form of speech bubbles ("I'm the site foreman. I make sure the workers are safe."). Toddlers will delight as they press the button attached to each page and hear the sounds of busy construction vehicles.
VERDICT Colorful, with the perfect amount of realistic images embedded into the fictional construction site. There are few other titles on this topic that offer young children both sound and pop-ups. Recommended for general purchase.-Kristen Todd-Wurm, Middle Country Public Library, NY
