About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler stops in their tracks at every orange cone or construction fence they see. It is the perfect antidote to the 'why' and 'how' questions that arise when a child witnesses the loud, fascinating world of roadwork. By breaking down the complex process of paving into a step-by-step sequence, it transforms a chaotic construction site into an understandable, orderly project. Beyond the gears and engines, the book highlights the importance of teamwork and community helpers. It uses real-life photography from Caterpillar to show how different machines (the motor grader, the paver, and the compactor) must work in a specific order to reach a common goal. It is an ideal choice for building technical vocabulary and fostering a sense of wonder about the infrastructure that connects our world.
