Roadworks

Roadworks – Noisy, Rhythmic Fun for Little Builders
By Sally Sutton | Illustrated by Brian Lovelock

A lively and engaging picture book packed with sound, rhythm, and action—perfect for young children who love machines, movement, and making noise.

Description
Roadworks takes children on an exciting journey through the step-by-step process of building a road. With energetic rhymes and playful sound words, the story brings construction machines to life—rumbling, crashing, and roaring across the pages.

Unlike many machine books, this one follows a real project from beginning to end, offering both fun and a sense of progression that keeps little readers engaged.
