What's Inside

I love to watch construction workers. Let's see what all the equipment can do.

Read this book one on one with a child and talk about how people build things and the tools they use. The pages support early knowledge about construction, building, and design. It fits well with children who are curious about jobs, machines, and how buildings are made. Read it aloud slowly and pause to name the equipment and the work it does.
