"Bulldozers, dump trucks, and cranes are just a few of the vehicles working together to build something incredible. The payloader makes the hole for the foundation, the semi-loader brings in the huge blocks, and the crane lifts them up. But is this a real construction site, or a boy's backyard filled with toys?"--

Now available as a board book! Watch a series of amazing construction vehicles – a dump truck, a bulldozer, and many others – build a building unlike any other. Then delight in the surprise ending, where young readers and listeners can see that the trucks are actually toys a little boy is playing with!

Bulldozers, dump trucks, and cranes are just a few of the vehicles working together to build something incredible. The payloader makes the hole for the foundation ("DIG"), the semi-loader brings in the huge blocks ("HAUL"), and the crane lifts them up ("HOIST"). But is this a real construction site, or a boy's backyard filled with toys?

Here is an ingenious book that showcases all kinds of trucks and celebrates the joy of imaginative play. But it is also a marvel of ingenuity on the part of Red Nose Studio, who hand-built each vehicle, then photographed his 3-D creations.

Build! offers a delightful experience, inviting both young readers and listeners to engage with the creativity of construction and the wonder of play.
