Construction Countdown

24 pp. | Holt | May, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6920-8 $$14.95
(4) PS Illustrated by David Gordon. Each double-page spread features construction vehicles at work. The spreads count down from ten "mighty dump trucks" to two "skid loaders," with the final two pages revealing that they are all toys in "one gigantic sandbox." This counting book's unoriginal rhyming text is less effective than the simple illustrations of the vehicles, some of which appear in unusual colors such as purple and turquoise.
