Crush the stone. Crush the stone. Chip and grind and munch. Make new concrete from the old. Whirr! Churr! Crunch! From the huge crane with a swinging ball ( crack! ) to the toothy jaws that ram the walls ( thwock! ), this rambunctious demolition, reverberating with sound words, is guaranteed to have small kids rapt. Bright spreads showcase the gargantuan machines in all their glory, and a pictorial glossary explains what each one can do.
Sutton's rhyming text has an imperative, chanting quality that's a perfect fit with the subject matter Publishers Weekly
