A little boy joins his father at a construction site.
Dad’s helping to build a new school, and he takes his son to watch its progress. They see lots of machines at work: a dump truck, a backhoe, an earthmover, a giant grader, a steamroller, a cement mixer, a crane, and more. Finally, the school is finished―just in time for the first day. Bill Thomson’s exquisite illustrations, rendered in acrylic paint and colored pencils, are delivered in a double-spread vertical format, which, when the book is turned sideways, bring this building experience to life with unprecedented dramatic perspective.

Customers say
Customers find the illustrations beautiful and realistic. They appreciate the simple, clean images and the interesting storyline. The rhyme scheme is nice on some pages and strange on others. However, some readers found the text difficult to read due to small, hard-to-make-out letters and slanted pictures. The text size was also too small for young children.
