Reviews
**STARRED REVIEW** "Not only is its construction-site theme a passion for many children, its bold colors and thoughtful design will engage little hands and eyes as they pore over the pages. Sure to inspire calls of "READ IT AGAIN!" * Kirkus Reviews *
Construction fans will happily add these rarities to their vocabularies as well as pick up strong action words like "burrow" and "span." Hand this upbeat treat to your budding builder. * Shelf Awareness *
