Construction Site: Merry and Bright: A Christmas Lift-the-Flap Book

18 pp. | Chronicle | October, 2021 | Trade ISBN 978-1-7972-0429-1 $12.99
(2) PS Illustrated by AG Ford. In their second holiday-themed ­outing (Construction Site on Christmas Night, rev. 11/18), the hard-working Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site trucks celebrate in a lift-the-flap book. The rhyming text is full of good cheer, and the richly colored wax oil crayon illustrations feature the smiling trucks decked out festively. On Christmas Eve, the gang gets busy decorating the job site, "each one...planning something great!" Six flaps (one on nearly every spread) reveal the surprises: e.g., with Crane Truck's help, Flat Bed's "load of Christmas cheer" is shown to include (under a flap) "a GIANT Christmas tree." Deliveries of a star, wreath, and presents follow; Cement Mixer and Skid Steer add the final twinkling touches. Rinker and Ford's winning formula captures "TRUE Christmas cheer": "a time to gather, give, and share-- / a season filled with love and care."
