SERIES REVIEW: The titles in this series provide very simple introductions to six different construction vehicles that young readers are often excited to see pictures of and learn more about. Each of the three reviewed titles feature full-page photographs paired with a single short sentence that explains what the vehicle does. Diverse people are found in a few of the vehicle pictures; each title includes questions to engage the reader and an additional resources page. Useful titles for new readers interested in construction vehicles.
