Description
Learn about six different construction vehicles in this guessing-game board book
This nonfiction follow-up to Whose Truck?
features six kinds of specialized rigs used to construct a light-rail
system-a tunnel borer, an excavator, a bulldozer, a tie dragon, a
tamping machine, and a bucket truck-with five different parts of each
rig properly labeled. The answer to each inquiring refrain of "Whose rig
is this?" is revealed under a gatefold, engaging the reader in an
informative guessing game about construction machines and their
operators. With lyrical (and factual!) rhyming text by New York Times
bestselling author Toni Buzzeo, and the expertly stylized art of Ramon
Olivera, this sturdily constructed board book is perfect for curious and
playful young readers.

Toni Buzzeo's first three books in the Guess-the-Job series (Whose Truck?, Whose Tools?, and Whose Boat?) have sold more than 100,000 copies. She is also the author of the 2013 Caldecott Honor Book and New York Times bestseller One Cool Friend,

and libraries. She lives in Arlington, Massachusetts, in a two-family
home where her grandchildren live one flight up. Ramon Olivera is the illustrator of several books for young readers, including ABCs on Wheels, which was praised in a starred review in Publishers Weekly:
"Clean, crisp digital graphics . . . This one deserves a victory lap."
His work has been exhibited in the New York Society of Illustrators and
