The fun of working a real fire truck, dump truck, or cement mixer is made available to very young readers through the array of pull tabs, lift-ups, and die cuts on this colorful convoy
Heavy machinery rumbles into action when Paul Stickland brings his pop-up wizardry to a building site. Bulldozers, cement-mixers, cranes and more appear in seven exciting spreads with a magnificent fold-out finale. Stickland's talent lies not only in engineering brilliant pop-ups but in accurately portraying the details of machinery with warmth and wit. A lilting, chant-aloud text makes this a book kids will demand again and again, and the sturdy, self-activating pops make for a book far more destruction-resistant than most pop-ups.
