An edu-taining new series that introduces simple science, technology, engineering, and math words in an engaging, rhyming story. Children love construction sites, and they love learning new words! And that’s the premise behind Construction Site!, the second book in our STEM Stories series. With bright, active, and energetic illustrations featuring construction vehicles and workers and simple rhyming text, this book follows along as two classmates watch their old school get torn down and the new one get built. Written with preschool curriculum vocabulary words in mind, each page features one or more engineering term, such as demolish, excavator, debris, architect, foundation, pulley, and more, all of which are defined on the last spread. Relatable and entertaining, the story ends with the classmates walking in their new building for the first day of school while waving goodbye to the construction workers!
