Make way for DEMOLITION DAY!

The New York Times bestselling Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site series continues. . .


Everyone's favorite vehicles are ready to smash, crush, sort, and haul!	"Where a building's old and crumbling, five big trucks all roll up, rumbling—the sign says 'Danger! Stop! Keep Out!' But Bulldozer gives a thunderous shout. Gates open wide, the trucks roll in, they're revved and ready to begin!"	Demolition is tough work, but the construction team knows anything is possible with teamwork.

Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site Mighty Mighty Steam Train Dream Train Christmas Night Kid Book

Review

"The beloved characters from Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site . . . this time delving deep into the process of destruction. . . . Unlike many other books about demolitions, this one takes time to note that as materials are wrenched asunder, they're also sorted for recycling purposes. . . . Expect established fans to thoroughly enjoy both the familiar faces as well as newer types; readers new to the series will likely want to seek out earlier volumes. Ideal as a read-aloud. . . A knock-down knockout in more ways than one."-Kirkus Reviews

"[In Construction Site Mission: Demolition! and paired with] Ford's soft and textured oil crayon illustrations. . . Rinker's couplet rhymes are peppered with the satisfying sounds of the building coming apart-'Crumble! Crash!'-while maintaining a rhythm that can be read aloud with ease and enthusiasm."-The Horn Book Magazine --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Disappointed

My son is 3.5 and loves all of these books, he's obsessed with construction trucks. This one was boring and felt repetitive as it kept repeating how the material was sorted and saved for reuse. We tried it on couple different reading nights and he's completely bored and indifferent to it. He's never gotten tired or sick of any of the other books in this series, I've been reading the Good Night book for over 2 years now and it's been the same with Mighty Construction Site and Skid Steer....this new one just flopped.

Doesn't fit with the other construction books

We love a few of the other construction site books, but this wasn't as good.
Kid McGear comes back in this book, but she isn't a part of the team anymore, she's just extra help for this job.

It's nice that they talk about recycling, but it's pretty repetitive; it says basically the same thing for 3 different machines.

I am quite surprised by other reviewers who say that this book is boring. My son who is 2 and a half is obsessed with it just as he is obsessed with all the other books in this series. He especially loves wrecking balls and demolition sites, so it is a treat to find a book focused on this topic. I find it to be well-written and engaging, and I don't tire of reading it out loud several times per week at bedtime. I would highly recommend this to all construction-loving kids!

We have all the other books and they were fun. We just received the book and I read it with my 7-years old. He loves construction truck themed stories and he tells me this one was not very interesting. I agree with him.

Fun and cute but a little repetitive and there’s a typo..

After adding this one to our collection a few days ago, we now have 9 of this author’s books. My son is in love with construction and we love so many of her books! Despite some reviews saying it’s not as interesting, my son loves this book as well. It did seem a little bit repetitive with the steps the trucks take to demo the building but my son has had me read it to him twice a day everyday since we got it (so he obviously loves it!). There is a typo (“though” instead of “through”) so that was a bit disappointing. My son laughed when I had to explain why I read the word wrong the first time hah
Overall, it’s a fun one to add if you love the other books but Goodnight Goodnight and Kid McGear are still my favorites!

My son, who is almost 3, LOVES these books. We started reading Goodnight Goodnight, as we call it and after a few months switched to Mighty Mighty, and On Christmas Night. I have read these books EVERY night for over a year and they are great. Mission Demolition is good, but in our house’s opinion not as good as the ones mentioned. The words get a bit jumbled up like you’re reading a tough Dr. Seuss book. This just makes it tough to get into a fun cadence like you can with the others. The illustration is amazing as always and the story is good too.

It’s a little hard to read - it does not flow as easily as the other books. The concept of recycling and starting new is great, but gets lost in my effort to read all the words correctly! There are sentences that just don’t make sense and there’s a typo in it too.

Rushed book

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021

This book is a little disappointing compared to previous books in the series. They typically flow very well and the artwork isn’t bad. The first editions have the best artwork but later on they switched to a new artist and the quality isn’t the same. This time the book doesn’t flow and the artwork is the most disappointing compared to the rest. It feels like the book was rushed to market while reading it. Skip this one but buy the rest.

Please stop making these books. The first couple of books were great, goodnight construction site and the follow up day time one. This book is no where near as well done. If like the originals save your money on this one.
