Construction Crew Collection
A collection of three of the most popular Sutton and Lovelock hardbacks for pre-school fans of machines and building sites, including Construction, Dig, Dump, Roll and Roadworks!
Brian Lovelock's and Sally Sutton's books have continued to mesmerise young readers since 2010. Collected here for the first time are three of their most popular titles, describing all the heaving and hammering involved in building a new library, roads and a school! Visual clues set up mysteries to be solved at the turn of the page alongside action on every page. These are wonderfully noisy books, perfect for read-alouds in groups or one-on-one.
Roadworks series by Sally Sutton has reached over 1 million copies sold.
