Booklist - 09/15/2021 At dawn, a crew of 13 road-construction trucks gather in the desert before rolling onward, headed toward a nearby city: “Compactor, scraper, and grader cheer–HONK! / Roller and Striper get into gear. VROOM! / Water Truck is set to go. / And Paver’s pipes both snort and blow! HUFF!” The main section of the book spotlights one or two vehicles at a time as they carry out the excavating, bulldozing, and heavy hauling operations, followed by the scraping and watering, compacting and grading. After laying down asphalt and rolling the surface, signs and lights are hung, and stripes are added to the roadway. As the sun sets, the trucks look back at their road with satisfaction. Rinker, whose popular series of picture books began with Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site (2011), now offers basic information on how trucks are used to build highways. Created using wax oil crayons, the illustrations feature clearly delineated views of cheerful, determined-looking vehicles at work within appealing, vibrantly colorful scenes. A picture book that’s sure to attract young truck fans. - Copyright 2021 Booklist.
