Description
How are
buildings torn down and built up? Construction workers use large vehicles to
get the job done. Excavators rip off pieces of buildings and dig deep holes.
Wrecking balls hit buildings so their walls fall down. Flatbed trucks bring
new materials to the site. Every construction vehicle has a purpose when
people tear down or create buildings.

A Note From the Publisher
Some vehicles work on farms. Others go into space. They may even dive deep below the ocean. No matter where they go, vehicles get the job done. Vehicles on the Job looks at these machines in action. Discover how vehicles help save lives, construct buildings, and make scientific discoveries using science, technology, engineering, and math. Each book contains a glossary, an index, and places to go for more information.

This non-fiction, educational chapter book will be a hit for those kids who love mighty machines. It documents a variety of vehicles that you would find on a construction site such as: bulldozer, concrete mixer, dump truck, executor, flatbed truck, forklift, and front end loader just to name a few.
Key words are printed in bold text and are defined in the glossary at the back of the book. Also included is an index and places you can visit for extra information about these incredible machines. The photos are crisp, colourful and animate the text.
The chapters include:
"1. A Busy Site
2. Goodbye, Old Building
3, A Fresh Start
4. Hello, New Building
5. Glossary
6. For More Information
7. Index
8. About the Author"
Kids are always mesmerized by any form of these monster vehicles and will be fascinated to learn how what they contribute on a construction site. They will love to learn how they must work together to get a huge project competed. I highly recommend this book.
