The Construction Crew by Lynn Meltzer, illustrated by Carrie Eko-Burgess - ADVISABLE


Meltzer, Lynn.  The Construction Crew, illustrated by Carrie Eko-Burgess.  Henry Holt and Company, 2017.  $7.99.  Content: G.  BOARD BOOK.
The picture book version was published in 2011, this is the first board book edition.  The author starts by introducing all the different types of construction trucks: wrecking ball, bulldozer, backhoe, dump truck, and cement mixer.  Always with the catch phrase, “What do we need?”  Whose needed next is the construction crew!  They use drills, cherry pickers, hammer and nails, steamrollers, and extension ladders.  Now the new home needs a new family with a moving truck and cheerful neighbors. 

The illustrations are bright and eye-catching.  Each page is carefully rhymed.  What do we need?  A parent to read it during story time.
