Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction site,” is a book gives information of many different types of construction site trucks. The poems tells how each truck goes about their day and prepares for the night. This is the story of what the trucks and equipment do when the sun goes down on the construction site.Story is simple and interesting. As the day winds down, the trucks complete their final tasks. The crane truck lifts and settles one more beam. The cement mixer pours out its last load. The story follows those big trucks and others such as dump trucks, bulldozers, and excavators all fascinating to young children as they shut down for the day, satisfied with a job well-done. The large wax oil pastel illustrations create a peaceful setting as night approaches that compares with the motion-filled illustrations that show the trucks hard at work during the day. This book is for young children. This story tone is whimsical. Illustration is cartoony.
