Book Synopsis

Dig into the exciting world of construction sites, trucks, and building machines in this interactive introduction to more than 24 hardworking vehicles, from the bestselling Block Book series!

With sturdy pages, clever die-cuts to peek through, and durable fold-out pages to explore, Buildablock turns every spread into an interactive discovery. Lift a page to see a sky crane hauling equipment high into the air, then flip another down to follow a tunnel borer deep underground. Bright, retro-inspired illustrations by Peski Studio bring the busy construction site to life.

Young construction fans will discover an impressive lineup of machines and learn what each one does, from bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks, and cranes to tunnel borers, forklifts, cherry pickers, road rollers, and more. As the machines get to work, readers can watch a city take shape right before their eyes.

Perfect for ages 2 to 5, Buildablock is an engaging first construction book for toddlers and preschoolers who love trucks, diggers, building sites, and big machines.
