K-3Bumba Books: Construction Zone series.
These clearly structured books offer superficial introductions to ever-popular construction vehicles. Clear texts for early readers are interspersed with imagination-sparking critical-thinking questions. Brightly colored backgrounds, eye-catching design elements, and high-resolution stock photos (with impressive variation given the limited subject matter) should hold young readers' attention. A labeled vehicle diagram is included at the end. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Bumba Books: Construction Zone titles: Backhoes Dig!, Bulldozers Push!, Concrete Mixers Stir!, Cranes Lift!, Dump Trucks Haul!, and Front Loaders Scoop!.
