When Dad leaves his lunch pail behind, Mom sends the two kids through the construction site to deliver his meal.
Ok – Is this a fun book showing so many of the different jobs that go on within a construction site? Yes. BUT – everyone else on the construction site is wearing proper safety equipment, while the two children just wander willy-nilly without a hardhat or an orange vest?!? Then I’m supposed to believe that they could sit on a giant I-beam dangling in space?! I’m going to have to be a stuffed shirt and rate this lower for that. The foreman could have scooped them up and taken them in a golf cart to find Dad – easy-peasy answer!
