Roadwork

A crew of big machines and busy workers builds a road from start to finish, clearing the path, scooping dirt, rolling tar, and sweeping up when the job is done.

For the kid who points out every dump truck and cement mixer on the drive home, Roadwork turns that obsession into a page-by-page celebration.

• Big idea: Big jobs happen step by step, and every machine and worker has a part to play.
• Vibes: Loud, rhythmic, and full of clanking, scraping, rumbling energy.

• enjoy trucks, diggers, and construction sounds
• love to repeat noisy words like screek and squelch
• respond well to rhyming, rhythmic text
• are working on understanding how things get built step by step

• Story & sequence: What has to happen first before the road can be built?
• Sounds & imagination: Can you make the sound the machines make, like screek or squelch?
• Real-life connection: Have you ever seen a real road being built near your house?
• Imagination: If you could drive one of the machines in this book, which one would you pick?
