About book Demolition (2012)

A nice forward motion throughout the book, both in terms of the sequence of actions of tearing down a building, as well as the recycling of the materials to new purposes. The rhymes are well done, though I always have a hard time reading onomatopeia words like this in verse--I want to say them with the same pacing as the rest of the lines, but I physically can't say them that fast! The illustrations are detailed and precise and remind me a little of Donald Crews. Summary: This picture book follows the demolition of a building as well as the construction of something entirely different in its place.I was so excited to see that Sutton and Lovelock had another book out since both my son and I love their first book Roadwork. I would agree that is almost as great at the first. Great rhythm and flow, go book to chant, and great action sounds for the varied trucks in the book. These trucks demolish a building and create a playground. Good for Prek storytime.
