excerpt:

Builders don't only build buildings. These builders are putting up a bridge. Other builders build highways.

Bridges, ships, office buildings, homes, and highways are all built by construction workers. Team work, safety standards, and building plans are necessary to successfully complete a construction project.

     Simple, easy-to-read text and high quality, coloured photographs will appeal to young children and beginning readers. By incorporating a variety of ages and genders into the photographs, Liebman has identified trade professionals as an occupation for all people.

Highly Recommended.
