Roadworks

Reviews

Sutton's latest is a truck-lover's dream come true—repetition, rhyme and onomatopoeia form the text, while construction trucks vie for readers' attention in the illustrations. The result is a wonderfully noisy look at how roads are built. ...The level of detail matches the text's intended audience --enough to satisfy, not so much as to overwhelm. Pave the way to this book's shelf; perfect for read-alouds, it will be a hit whether shared with a group or one-on-one. Kirkus Starred Review
Kids who love trucks and construction will find an ideal vehicle for their passions in this exuberant book from New Zealand Publisher's Weekly
"lots of fabulous onomatopoeia...illustrations are bold and colourful." Waikato Times
"The text is limited but what it lacks in plot it makes up for in enthusiasm and great illustrations." The Sunday Age
