Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 2Hoban uses her hallmark clear, full-color photographs to introduce construction equipment. Each of the 13 machines presented is given a two-page spread, one picture taken at middle distance, the other close up. The final two pages match thumbnail photos with explanatory text, allowing parents or teachers to describe what each machine is doing. Though less innovative and arresting than some of her other picture books, Hoban's foray into the world of big machines will nonetheless prove fascinating to children who gravitate to books like Angela Royston and Graham Thompson's Monster Road Builders (Barron's, 1989).Ann Welton, Terminal Park Elementary School, Auburn, WA
