PreS-Gr 1—Skyscraper tells the story of how an empty lot in the city is transformed into a beautiful tall building. As in Hurley's other books, this one uses minimal prose and illustrations show readers the steps needed to construct these giants. With its simple digital images, calming colors, and delightful details, there is plenty for every young construction lover to pore over. This book includes a picture glossary in the back, identifying the construction vehicles by name and defining their purpose.
VERDICT With a great format for lap sharing, this book is a recommended purchase for any primary collection.
