How do we build those great big skyscrapers that reach into the sky? Using photographs of real construction sites, we explore the building process from blueprints to excavating with an excavator, using a wrecking ball, watching iron workers imitate Spiderman and finally seeing the electricians put the final touches on the lighting. There are a few fun facts sprinkled through the text and plenty of pictures of guys wearing hard hats and even one woman driving a backhoe. Nine chapters and a glossary. Ages 5-9 32 pages
