PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

From the award-winning duo that brought machine-mad kids Roadworks and Demolition.

Hoist the wood. Hoist the wood. Chain and hook and strap. Swing it round, then lower it down. Thonk! Clonk! Clap! Build the frame. Build the frame. Hammer all day long. Make the stairs and floors and walls. Bing! Bang! Bong!

This fantastically fun book describes all the heaving and hammering involved in building a new library. Full of action-packed illustrations and irresistible sound words - this is a story that will be easily read over and over again!

Roadworks series by Sally Sutton has reached over 1 million copies sold.
