Builder Bugs by David A. Carter

A new David Carter pop-up creation has arrived!  I love Carter's pop ups and this newest one with a popular topic for Adam is a big hit.  Kids will love studying and moving this interactive book.

Who builds the walls on Wednesday?
The Toolbox Bugs work hard all day.

If you have a little fan for BIG construction, this one will be a quick favorite.

The Construction Crew by Lynn Meltzer

We read every truck book we can find at our house and this was a recent find on the new book shelf at the library!! Short text, mostly rhyming though some was forced.

Tons if dirt

And Lots of muck

What do we need?

Dump truck!

A great, simple introduction to the world of trucks for kids, and adults like me still learning all the names and functions!!

Where's My T-R-U-C-K? by Karen Beaumonr

Tommy has lost his truck. Tommy is very upset about loosing his truck and searches high and low for his truck.
"And underneath the bed...And chair. Behind the curtain...OOPS! Not there! I CANNOT FIDN IT ANYWHERE!"
Karen Beaumont is back in a rhyming story about a boy that has lost his truck. As in most of Beaumont's books, the text is simple and rhyming. David Catrow in his usual style, shades of green and blue with silly characters, creates the illustrations for this book.

Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker

A little boy's DREAM....and we have been waiting for this one!
It is bedtime at the construction site and all the trucks - from crane truck to cement truck to dump truck and on - must finish their job and go to sleep.
"He lowers his bed, locks his gate,
Rests his wheels; it's getting late.
He dims his lights, then shuts his doors,
And soon his engine slows to snores.
Shh...goodnight, Dump truck, goodnight."
A great bedtime story for the truck loving boys in your life - this will probably be a purchase for our house! Tom Litchenheld, as always, creates wonderful illustrations, creating great faces for the trucks.
