Books with title NEW ROAD PB

‘This excellent and much needed factual book describes how roads are constructed, focusing on the people who plan and construct the road and the equipment used. Simple illustrations in bright basic colors are visually appealing. The final pages consist of a brief history of roads from Roman times to the present day. Bright, colorful, and fascinating." —SLJ.
