Such a fun book for reading aloud to a group or to just one! "Roadwork" contains short accounts of each phase of road-building, from planning to rolling tar to planting trees, told with a pleasant cadence and simple rhyme. Action verbs plus onomatopoeic descriptors keep the narrative moving rapidly (BUMP! WHUMP! WHOP!) and Brian Lovelock's bright watercolor illustrations make the book ideal for sharing. A picture glossary even states the name and facts of each machine. My 15 month old loves our copy from the library so much I might have to buy it!
