Other editions of book A Hole in the Road

Yikes! Look at that huge hole in the road! How will the cars get through? But wait . . . here comes the road crew with their bright orange cones. With their jackhammers, they break up the old pavement. Now it’s time for the big diggers to scoop up the rubble and for the dump trucks to take it away. Rumble, rumble — down goes the new asphalt — swoosh! — the roller makes it flat. The intriguing process of road repair, and the job done by each exciting machine, is explained in simple, child-friendly language that’s fun to read aloud.

When a hole appears in the road, the workers have to use lots of different big machines to help them fix it. Diggers, road rollers, dump trucks - everything has an important job to do. Follow the workers as they clear the rubble, add crushed stones, pour on the hot asphalt, make sure the surface is flat and clean the road so that the traffic can move smoothly.
