About This Book
Sally Sutton and Brian Lovelock deliver another engaging picture book that immerses preschoolers and early elementary children in the exciting world of a construction site. Through rhythmic, rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, readers follow the step-by-step process of building a new library, from digging foundations to the final touches. The book is rich with onomatopoeia, encouraging children to mimic the sounds of the machines and workers, making it an interactive and lively read-aloud experience. It's perfect for children aged 3-7 who love big machines and the satisfaction of seeing a project come to life.
"There's lots of noise and excitement involved in building a library! Preschoolers will clamor to take a close look. Award-winning duo Sally Sutton and Brian Lovelock are back with another rhythmic read-aloud full of bustling illustrations and sound words that beg kids to join in. Thonk! Clonk! Clap! The team behind Roadwork and Demolition returns to the construction site, where big machines and busy workers dig, hoist, and hammer away."--
