Building with Dad

A little boy joins his father at a construction site. Dads helping to build a new school, and he takes his son to watch its progress. They see lots of machines at work a dump truck, a backhoe, an earthmover, a giant grader, a steamroller, a cement mixer, a crane, and more. Finally, the school is finishedjust in time for the first day. Bill Thomsons exquisite illustrations, rendered in acrylic paint and colored pencils, are delivered in a double-spread vertical format, which, when the book is turned sideways, bring this building experience to life with unprecedented dramatic perspective.
