SLJ Review of Construction Zone

This addition to the imprint is ideal for readers who love big construction site behemoths. Bright, vivid photos illustrate the basic text, allowing readers to use context clues to decipher more difficult words.

Images of bright orange mixers pouring concrete and rollers smoothing asphalt road surfaces coordinate perfectly with the phrases on the page. In fact, the limited text and illustrative photos make this series perfect for use in circle and s­torytimes, giving them extended use for educators.

The glossy photos allow ­readers and listeners alike to appreciate the full size and scope of the gigantic cranes, bulldozers, and diggers.

Each book concludes with a simplified, labeled picture of its highlighted vehicle and a photo glossary. Filled with repetition of key words and basic text, this series is perfect for evolving readers. ­

VERDICT: A first purchase for school and public libraries alike.
