The board book edition is a little long for the youngest toddlers, perhaps... but you know that kids who love construction machines will be hard on their books, so this is the right one for them to own and carry around everywhere they take their favorite trucks! ( )

Each of the machines on a construction site winds down their work and tucks themselves in to sleep.

Very cute, with good rhyming. The illustrations of construction trucks with little blankets on their backs or holding teddy bears are extremely cute. However, I do wish that ALL of the trucks didn’t use he/him pronouns. They’re trucks, can’t one of them be not male? ( )

Cheerful art, flawless rhythm, and lots of construction equipment make this one a classic. ( )

A fantastic vocabulary builder with a delightful rhythm! This sweet story is a fast favorite of boys and girls alike! Learn more about what those big machines do all day before you help tuck them in for the night. ( )

A classic of the bedtime book genre, full of cute trucks with their blankies and teddy bears. ( )

Adorable and nicely calm

Great for bedtime, full of evocative pictures with expressive characters and beautiful subtle backgrounds. would recommend for bedtime reading for any 2-6 year old. ( )

Not bad, but not the best of the bunch. It is a fun little rhyming ABC book full of all things construction. It’s a solid read that many kids will love. ( )

Delightful and well-written long-form poetry that anthropomorphizes construction equipment going to sleep. Gorgeous illustrations too (I particularly appreciate the Z's of sleep turning into a steel frame of a building). Alas, there isn't a female pronoun to be found in the book. ( )

Crane Truck, Cement Mixer, Dump Truck, Bulldozer and Excavator are all gearing down after a hard day at work. Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker is an instant bedtime classic!
We find ourselves rereading this every other night. Written in rhyming verse, your little engineer will appreciate this bedtime lullaby. Fun tip: emphasize and build your child’s vocabulary when driving around town by trying to find and point out all the vehicles mentioned in the book ( )

Fun and my 2-year-old likes it but yet another kids' book with all male pronouns. So things get switched around when we read it. ( )

Comments:
When we looked at poetry in class we learned the importance of reading rhymes at an early age and having them read to you. I think this book has great rhythm with nice simple rhymes that would be comforting to children. A good book to read to Kindergarteners. ( )

Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site is a great book for young children. The story tells of the job each vehicle on a construction site does. It tells that they rest at night as well. The illustrations are lovely. The rhymes are quiet and soothing. The repetition will surely soothe young children to sleep.

This is a good book for learning about trucks. It is a good book for learning about rhyme and repetition. I would recommend this to readers of all ages who are fans of picture books. Lovely! ( )

A perennial favorite since it was first published in 2011, Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site features an engaging bedtime tale in rhyme, paired with appealing oil pastel illustrations in deep and vivid hues. One by one the rough and tumble vehicles at a construction site finish their work for the day, getting ready for bed in the end. As the narrative bids each one goodnight, the theme of sleepiness is emphasized and reemphasized in such a way as to have a soporific effect on young listeners.

It's difficult to believe that this was author Sherri Duskey Rinker's debut, as the text is so assured, and reads so well, just tripping off the tongue! Young truck-lovers - of which there are many! - will get a kick out of this bedtime book, and will enjoy listening to the rhyming refrain as vehicle after vehicle gets ready to go to bed. The artwork by Tom Lichtenheld shifts between more wakeful colors such as yellow and orange in the daytime scenes, and more peaceful hues such as blue in the nighttime ones, giving a visual reinforcement to the theme of winding down. Recommended to anyone looking for the perfect bedtime book for the young construction and/or truck enthusiast. ( )

Even the child whose motor never stops running is no match for this sweet picture book. The lilting rhythm of Sherri Duskey Rinker’s Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site will quiet your little truck lover and get him or her ready for a restful night. This busy construction site going through its nighttime rituals will help power down your child’s engine and encourage sweet motor dreams. ( )

At the construction site all the trucks work together to get the job done. They work so hard that they all have a good nights sleep.

A cute story about a Crane Truck, Cement Mixer, Dump Truck, Bulldozer, and an Excavator finishing up a hard day of work, and lying down to rest.

Amazing artwork. The rhyming text flows well and the illustrations enhance the artwork. Would be a great bedtime story to read to kids. ( )

This a good book for children because in this story they get to learn about a construction site in a fun way where all the equipment is alive. They work and go to sleep every night. Children will enjoy this because it will come to life for them. ( )
