Roadworks by Sally Sutton
Full of shout-aloud noise words, rhythm and rhyme, this book follows the process of building a road from beginning to end. It is full of noisy vehicles and clanking machinery. It also includes an illustrated glossary naming and describing each road-building vehicle.
Kids who love trucks and construction will find an ideal vehicle for their passions in this exuberant book* Publishers Weekly *
Sutton's latest is a truck-lover's dream come true – repetition, rhyme and onomatopoeia form the text, while construction trucks vie for readers' attention in the illustrations. The result is a wonderfully noisy look at how roads are built...The level of detail matches the text's intended audience – enough to satisfy, not so much as to overwhelm. Pave the way to this book's shelf; perfect for read-alouds, it will be a hit whether shared with a group or one-on-one. * Kirkus Reviews *
