constuction site

My son loves this book. I thought it might be too much for him at 3, but he has really caught on. He loves seeing all the steps for construction through the seasons and learning what all the different jobs are for the people and machines. Wonderful book for any child that loves "diggers" and great extra for discussing season changes.

Great Book for any Family!

I found one of these books in the Library "A Day in the City" and brought it home with in the day everyone of my children 20 years to 6 years had throughly scoured the book to find all the things that were recorded with in, It even entertained myself as I read it and searched the pictures with my youngest. I have since brought home "A Year on a Pirate Ship", "A year on a Farm" and "A Year at a Construction sight." I highly recommend this series of book for any family.

What a hit!!!

I gave this as a gift to a boy five-years-old. He took it everywhere with him for weeks! He even took it to bed with him! He loved looking for the characters that re-appear throughout the book and seeing the weather change as well. This is a great book for any little boy!

A step up from finding "Goldbug"

Our 18-month old loved finding Goldbug in Richard Scarry's "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go" and was challenged even more finding the various objects in this book. His new favorite book.
