Ever wonder how a road is built? Come along with Caldecott Medalist Simms Taback and find out!

First you’ll meet the crew. Then you’ll see all the trucks up close—cement mixers, bulldozers, dump trucks, graders, pavers—and learn what each one does. And finally, you’ll watch a bustling new road come to life!

“A splendid introduction to a world that many children find riveting.”—Publishers Weekly
