The construction vehicles (Construction Site: Merry and Bright, rev. 11/21, and many others) are back, this time in a Hanukkah-themed lift-the-flap board book. Enthusiastic rhyming text and boldly saturated wax oil crayon illustrations show the characters using their resources to complete holiday activities, with flaps lifting to reveal the results of their efforts. Cement Mixer and Skid Steer, for instance, team up to create…a giant (and accurate) concrete dreidel. The upbeat intro to Hanukkah ends with a satisfying gatefold scene: “The whole team, sleeping sound tonight, / dreams of miracles—and light.”

From the November/December 2025 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
