Construction Zone, Cheryl Willis Hudson

Construction Zone is an informational text picture book.  It is about what goes on in a construction zone.  It also tells the steps of building a building from the beginning in excavating the dirt to the finished product.  It even used real pictures from an actual construction site.

 

I chose to read this book because the little boy that I babysit is obsessed with diggers, loaders, anything that has to do with trucks, dirt, or construction.  All Summer we read books about these types of things but never this one so when I saw it in the library I got it so that I could see what it is about and read it with him.  It also had bolded words in the text.  However, in this book at the bottom of the page there was an orange question mark and it had the definition for the bolded word.  I would recommend this book to students who like construction, dirt, or different working machines.  You could even integrate it with a science lesson on simple machines.  I will have this book in my classroom library.
