We all knew machines that helped in the construction of buildings. But there are giant magnificent machines that help in crushing and grinding things This story takes us to a place where a crew of workers suiting up at the job site, swinging a wrecking ball, chomping through concrete and rebar, ramming down walls, hosing dust, crushing stone, chipping wood, sorting steel scrap, and clearing the way for a park.
Each page is filled with rhyming and energetic texts like “Thud! Creak! Wham!” “Screech! Scrunch! Rip!”, which is perfect for a read-aloud to truck-loving kids. The illustrations are so bright and filled with a dust background, which takes the child to the demolished site. There is a pictorial glossary at the end, which explains what each machine does.
