When a family sets out on a trip to Grandma's, their journey proves to be more like a visit to a construction site. Sidewalks are being poured, streetlights repaired, roads resurfaced. The noise of jackhammers, whistles, and horns fills the air. Boys and girls alike will love seeing the big machines at work. Anastasia Suen's simple text and Jannie Ho's bright, up-beat pictures make this one road trip to remember.
"Would that every car ride were as entertaining--truck lovers are sure to ask to drive this route again and again." — Kirkus Reviews, August 1, 2011
"The cheery cartoon illustrations will be stimulating for young children..." — Booklist, September 15, 2011
"The simple phrases and rhymes provide the perfect read-aloud for lap-sits or storyhours with children who love construction or transportation themes." — School Library Journal, October 1, 2011
