There are many big machines and busy people involved in building a road, and this picture book, with its rambunctious rhymes and noisy fun, follows them every step of the way, from clearing a pathway to rolling the tar to sweeping up at the end.

Told in rhyming text, seven new road-building machines set out on a job--building, rolling, paving, and painting a brand new road.

Find out how workers survey and prepare the way for the equipment that builds our roads and superhighways.

Describes different kinds of trucks and what each does.

"Foreman Frankie is paving a new highway. To do so, Foreman Frankie and his crew need to mix concrete, pour a layer of asphalt, and make sure the road is very smooth. Sing along to the tune of 'Yankee Doodle' as you read the book and see how quickly Foreman Frankie and his crew can pave the highway!"--
