Illustrated by
Richard Smythe.
A crane (the bird) takes flight ("Lift"); on a facing page, a (mechanical) crane hoists dirt ("Lift"). One crane gathers sticks with its beak ("Grab"); the other crane hoists beams ("Grab"”). As pages turn, vibrant illustrations show that each crane is building a home: one a nest, the other a house. File this one under "Elementary but Ingenious Picture Books."
