Demolition: (A Rhyming Construction Book with Trucks, Cranes, Wrecking Balls, and Noisy Vehicles for Babies, Toddlers, Preschoolers, and Kids Ages 2-5) (Construction Crew)

My 4 year old son loves big noisy machines and loves this book! It's one of his favorites, we read it several times a day. So thankfully it's fun to read! It has an infectious rhyming beat that goes along with the fun onomatopoeia words on every page. It cleverly and succinctly follows the steps it takes to demolish a derelict sky scraper to replace it with a beautiful park. Highly recommend it to every machine loving boy.

This book fascinated my 2year old boy. Lots of sounds, lots of machines, and a playground at the very end (which he still wants to visit. We started reading this just as he was beginning to talk more and a lot of his phrases and speech patterns started mimicking the book - swing the ball, swing the ball, pulling on boots and hats etc. my 4yr old daughter also enjoyed the book - but not with as much gusto. We loved it so much we bought it for our friends with a young boy of their own.

We started with the Roadwork book, which has been in my son's library since he was a year old. For his third birthday, I added Construction and Demolition to our selection, and they've gone down a treat. If you have a kid who is interested in how things are made (or demolished) I highly recommend these books. They have deceptively simple artwork which manages to be surprisingly detailed. The swingy rhymes and sound-effects make for easy reading-aloud fare. We are definitely fans in this household.

We love this series and had to have all three books! Our boys love the rhymes and loud noises. It’s a must have series for all kiddos!

Well written and great illustrations. Entertaining for toddlers and preschoolers

Nice size book for toddlers

The story is pretty basic. I like that it uses some funny words like crash slam bang! I really like the art style. It has really good pictures of construction vehicles.

The worst thing I can say about this book is that it challenges my cynical little heart to read a story about tearing down a building to put up a park. Like that would happen. But since my two year old doesn't share my jaded outlook on economics and the book is filled with pictures of machinery he has no qualms about it. He sits on my lap as we read it and point to different big iron, often making me turn the pages back to get another look. This one is in regular rotation in our house and we'll buy whatever else Sutton puts out.
