Description
How many trucks does it take to build a skyscraper?
Acclaimed picture book creator Jorey Hurley tells the story of construction perfect for the youngest reader. Watch a vacant lot transform into a towering skyscraper in this beautifully illustrated picture book about trucks and construction. It includes a word list of fourteen truck images and their names. In her punchy trademark one-verb-per-page style, Hurley starts off with a demolition followed by the numerous steps of building an enormous new skyscraper. Watch the excavator "dig" the foundation, the flatbed truck "haul" the beams for a crane to "raise," and more, all the way through to the finishing touches of windows and paving. Near the last page, a change from landscape to portrait orientation finally treats readers to a complete view of the towering finished product.
