Description
Modern marvels like skyscrapers and highways have been built with the help of the most advanced construction machines ever imagined. As today's buildings get bigger and more complicated, the vehicles that build them have followed suit. With the help of full-color photographs, readers learn more about gigantic machines that can carve tunnels through solid stone and cranes, trucks, and bulldozers that help build—and tear down—the structures that make our cities and towns. Readers can draw their own construction vehicles with the help of simple instructions, and take a fun quiz at the end of the book to make sure they remember what these big machines are made of! • High-interest topic attracts reluctant readers • Reading level appropriate for many ages • Full-color photographs • Table of contents, glossary, and index guide readers through each book • Suggested books and websites provide additional learning opportunities
