What's even more exciting to young kids than seeing big machines that build things? Watching the massive ones that tear them down! Crush the stone. Crush the stone. Chip and grind and munch. Make new concrete from the old. Whirr! Churr! Crunch! From the huge crane with a swinging ball (crack!) to the toothy jaws that ram the walls (thwock!), this rambunctious demolition, reverberating with sound words, is guaranteed to have small kids rapt. Bright spreads showcase the gargantuan machines in all their glory, and a pictorial glossary explains what each one can do.

This is a great book for all kids who like machines. It has great read-aloud potential, with lots of onomatopoeic words. It includes a pictorial glossary of the machines with a short explanation of what each one does.

Industry Reviews
With bucket loads of ripping, shredding, scraping, crashing, gauging and clanging - if you can't beat the toddlers, join 'em
Families (South East)

Big machines are the source of endless fascination for young children and they will love to see the fabulous machines shown in this book. . . . perfect to read aloud and children will revel in shouting out the noises - and perhaps you could go out and see if you can spot some of the machines after.
