"Now the crew works
as a team,
to get the site all clear
and clean.
They haul materials
away,
to be reused,
another day."
Parents and teachers will know those kids who has been waiting for this new addition to the very popular Construction Site series. Their newest adventure has them dealing with something decidedly different. In the other books, they were working hard to build. This time they are bent on demolition.
An old brick building is past its prime, and the construction gang have been called in to take on the task of bringing it down. Each of them plays an important role in doing the work that needs to be done. Fans will recognize Flatbed, Crane, Excavator, Dump Truck, Front End Loader, and Skid Steer and know that each will help in demolishing the building. Then, they'll clean up the site before Big Bulldozer and Cement Mixer arrive to help prepare it for a new construction.
"The day is finished - job well done!
Demo day was tough - but fun!
The tired trucks have done their best,
and now it's time to get some rest.
Tomorrow, there's more work to do -
they'll start building something new!"
These are much-loved characters for many young readers; they will be delighted to see them
again. As always happens, the team sets a fine example of team work, with everyone playing the role meant just for them. It will be interesting for new fans to see each of the vehicles at work, and all helping with the recycling of materials. The familiar and a appealing images created by AG Ford only add to the delight kids will feel at seeing their old friends again!
