Editoral Review
Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker is a delightful children’s book that has captured the hearts of young readers since its initial publication on March 2, 2011. Sherri Duskey Rinker is an American writer and a graphic designer who has authored several children’s books.
Her debut picture book, Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site, has won numerous awards and has become a classic bedtime story for children.
Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site is a picture book that follows the adventures of various construction vehicles as they wind down after a long day on the job. The story takes place at a construction site where the vehicles, including a bulldozer, a crane truck, and a cement mixer, are getting ready to go to sleep.
Each truck has a specific task to complete before bedtime, from filling up with gas to dumping out the last of their load. As the sun sets, each vehicle completes its task and heads to bed, ready for another day on the job tomorrow.
The book’s illustrations are stunning and capture the imagination of young readers. The construction vehicles are anthropomorphized, giving them a personality that children can relate to.
The illustrations are bold, colorful, and full of detail, making it easy for young readers to follow along with the story.
One of the book’s strengths is its ability to teach children about the importance of teamwork and hard work. Each truck has a specific job to complete, and they work together to accomplish their tasks.
The book also teaches children about the importance of winding down after a long day and the importance of getting a good night’s sleep.
The book’s only weakness is that it may not appeal to children who are not interested in construction or vehicles. However, this is a minor criticism, as the book is well-written and beautifully illustrated.
Overall, Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker is an excellent children’s book that teaches important life lessons while entertaining young readers. The book is perfect for children aged 3 to 7 and would make an excellent addition to any child’s bookshelf.
I would highly recommend this book to parents looking for a fun and educational bedtime story for their children.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.
