At a Construction Site [With Magnets]

Don Kilby. Kids Can Press, $16.95 (24pp) ISBN 978-1-55337-044-4

Part of the new Wheels at Work series, the paper-over-board book At a Construction Site by Don Kilby introduces young readers to the machines needed to demolish an old building and erect a new one. Thickly applied acrylic paint and concise text lay out everything from the crane with its wrecking ball to the forklift delivering new materials to the lunch truck carrying sustenance for hungry workers. On the Road, also by Kilby, follows the same format. Each title is also available in an edition that includes a foldout play area and four truck magnets.
