What’s even more exciting to young kids than seeing big machines that build things? Watching the massive ones that tear them down!

Crush the stone. Crush the stone. Chip and grind and munch. Make new concrete from the old. Whirr! Churr! Crunch! From the huge crane with a swinging ball (crack!) to the toothy jaws that ram the walls (thwock!), this rambunctious demolition, reverberating with sound words, is guaranteed to have small kids rapt. Bright spreads showcase the gargantuan machines in all their glory, and a pictorial glossary explains what each one can do.

I think this book it good because there is lots of onomatopoeia.

Wonderful book for reading aloud with young children, featuring onomatopoeia's that give the book a fun and engaging theme. The book is also a great early introduction for understanding and familiarising young children with idea of careers in the built environment, with illustrations representing a diverse range of workers in the field (both gender and diversity). The story culminates in the creation of a new children's playground being built, helping to introduce young children to the idea of how different jobs help people and society.

I liked all the construction vehicles and that it rhymed

It is a really short book but it has alot of rhymes in it and it is quite fun to read! I think only children at the age of 7 or less would like it! I recommend it to children who are age 7 or less!
