You might enjoy this book if your child loves action-packed stories with big machines and lots of noise. Its rhythmic text and vibrant illustrations make it perfect for young construction enthusiasts who are fascinated by the sounds and sights of road-building vehicles at work.

Roadworks

Roadworks is made with machine-mad pre-school boys in mind, though girls will also love the exciting noise - words, rhythms and rhymes. Roadworks aims to differ from other machine books in that it shows an actual project being completed from start to finish, in this case, the building of a road.
