(3) PS With just one to three words per page, this story demonstrates the necessary balance between building and breaking on a construction site. Playful in both its language and its pen-and-ink with gouache illustrations, the book cleverly depicts creation and construction as artistic pursuits (further highlighted in the author's note). The broad trim is particularly striking when the illustrations call for a vertical reading.
