Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 2—How does a construction project begin? With one big plan, of course. Then come 2 shovels, 3 dump trucks, etc., until there are 12 stories of the new, tall building. There may never be enough picture books that illustrate the magic of concrete mixers and cranes. There are even fewer that are bilingual and well suited to reading aloud. The digital pictures have the look and texture of collage. The primary colors and linear style make counting each of the elements easy and fun. Characters are ethnically diverse and there is good gender representation. The English and Spanish texts are short and nicely fit on the page in a large font size. The book doubles as a "Look and Find" title as each page has its respective number hidden somewhere within the illustration. The last page offers "Fun Facts," answers for the number search, and safe Internet sites to browse. A first purchase that can be used for storytime, independent reading, or one-on-one sharing.—Shannon Dye, Sno-Isle Libraries, Monroe, WA
