A construction site built from play

Bulldozers, dump trucks, loaders and cranes work through the stages of building, with short action words marking tasks such as digging, hauling and hoisting. The construction activity gradually reveals another possibility: the vehicles are toys in a boy’s backyard. The book pairs an introduction to familiar work vehicles with a turn toward imaginative play. Its images have a distinctive making process behind them: Red Nose Studio hand-built the vehicles as three-dimensional creations and photographed them for the book.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Toddlers and preschoolers interested in trucks and construction vehicles
  • Young children who enjoy books about pretend play
  • Adults sharing a vehicle-themed board book with babies and toddlers

Book overview

Now available as a board book! Watch a series of amazing construction vehicles--a dump truck, a bulldozer, and many others--build a building unlike any other. Then delight in the surprise ending, where young readers and listeners can see that the trucks are actually toys a little boy is playing with!

Bulldozers, dump trucks, and cranes are just a few of the vehicles working together to build something incredible. The payloader makes the hole for the foundation ("DIG"), the semi-loader brings in the huge blocks ("HAUL"), and the crane lifts them up ("HOIST"). But is this a real construction site, or a boy's backyard filled with toys?

Here is an ingenious book that showcases all kinds of trucks and celebrates the joy of imaginative play. But it is also a marvel of ingenuity on the part of Red Nose Studio, who hand-built each vehicle, then photographed his 3-D creations.
