It is always fun to watch road repairs (as long as it doesn't lengthen your commute!). In this companion book to Zoom, Zoom, Fire Engine!, a road crew fix a water pipe which has burst on the street. Readers can push the dirt around, make lights flash, and operate the backhoe by turning the dials, pulling the tabs, and the lifting flaps. The line work in the illustrations are done with a thick black crayon and help give the feel of the solid, tough, and powerful equipment. It is a compact and sturdy book.Book Details
