The story and illustrations are very nice。But， why on earth are all of the construction equipment characters male？ This is 2018。 I have a son and a daughter， and it would be nice to have both of them see themselves in children’s literature， particularly when it would not significantly change the story， and the story is referencing machines that don’t really have a gender anyway。

The heavy duty construction machines are back in this holiday themed sequel to Goodnight， Goodnight Construction Site。 This time each machine is trying to finish its task before the big holiday。 Rhymed verse and predictable text make this an easy volume for young readers。 Multiple readers could take turns reading different machines。

For fans of Goodnight， Goodnight， Construction Site。 All the trucks are surprised with useful gifts for Christmas as they’re working on a special project for Christmas Day。 Elliot loves the original， so this was a fun book for him

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 We love the Construction books， but this one wasn’t quite a hit。 The construction crew is hurrying to meet their deadline and build a building on Christmas Eve。 Nothing is very Christmas-y except that each truck receives a gift when they’re done for the day。 I thought maybe the building would be Christmas themed。 But no。 It turns out to be the new fire station， with no explanation as to why it had to be built on Christmas Eve。

Suspend the usual timeline for a construction project when you take this one on。 Sometimes it seems the story is set like all the machines build this fire house in a day。 Sometimes it feels like they do their singular job on separate days。 None of this should be a reason not to enjoy the book， but after 426 readings in Christmas and non-Christmas months， things like that pop out。 You'll be revisiting the friends of the first two construction books。 Similar rhyming scheme and same quality illustr Suspend the usual timeline for a construction project when you take this one on。 Sometimes it seems the story is set like all the machines build this fire house in a day。 Sometimes it feels like they do their singular job on separate days。 None of this should be a reason not to enjoy the book， but after 426 readings in Christmas and non-Christmas months， things like that pop out。 You'll be revisiting the friends of the first two construction books。 Similar rhyming scheme and same quality illustrations。 。。。more

This was adorable。 The construction crew is getting one last job done before the holidays。 For all their hard work they are surprised with presents。 And we the reader send them all off with a goodnight。#Wintergames #teamreadnosereindeer +26

At first， i thought it's a book that hard to translate （English as a second language family）; however， when i find out that my 3yrs son pays a lot of attention when i read it， i realize it is a magic topic for boys all over the world。 Christmas + Construction Site = little boy loves it a lot！ At first， i thought it's a book that hard to translate （English as a second language family）; however， when i find out that my 3yrs son pays a lot of attention when i read it， i realize it is a magic topic for boys all over the world。 Christmas + Construction Site = little boy loves it a lot！ 。。。more

There are surprisingly few vehicle themed Christmas books。 And very few Christmas books from well known series that can stand on their own。 Construction Site on Christmas Night achieves both。 The crew is working late to finish a big project in Christmas Eve， but at the end of the day each truck finds a surprise waiting。 I love the creativity of the gifts given to each construction vehicle。 My only complaint is it could be made a little more clear that the project being worked on is for the new c There are surprisingly few vehicle themed Christmas books。 And very few Christmas books from well known series that can stand on their own。 Construction Site on Christmas Night achieves both。 The crew is working late to finish a big project in Christmas Eve， but at the end of the day each truck finds a surprise waiting。 I love the creativity of the gifts given to each construction vehicle。 My only complaint is it could be made a little more clear that the project being worked on is for the new crew， and who the gifts came from。 。。。more

A cute story--and the perfect segue to our Christmas books month this year！ :-）

Cute。 This series is great for Peter。 They build a firehouse。

A well illustrated upbeat Christmas story for all children who love heavy construction equipment。 Each one does their very best to get the job quickly done so that the building will be finished in time for Christmas。 A big plus is that each piece of construction equipment gets its own surprise--a Christmas gift and then gets to go to bed。 Good bed time reading。

Xander loves anything with construction equipment。 I loved the message of giving。

Review originally published on my blog Nine Pages。The characters from previous Construction Site books return。 Each is gifted new equipment from an anonymous donor that I presume to be the company who thanks them for their work throughout the year。 My anti-capitalist self found a great deal to be cynical about in this set up。 The company provides their workers with something that they need to perform for the company but frames that equipment as a gift to make the company seem kinder？ Hmmm…。 Review originally published on my blog Nine Pages。The characters from previous Construction Site books return。 Each is gifted new equipment from an anonymous donor that I presume to be the company who thanks them for their work throughout the year。 My anti-capitalist self found a great deal to be cynical about in this set up。 The company provides their workers with something that they need to perform for the company but frames that equipment as a gift to make the company seem kinder？ Hmmm…。 I am almost certain that I am seeing an unintentional parallel between today’s corporate structures and those of this book; I don’t think that Rinker intentionally set out to write a pro- or anti-capitalist book， one that lauds the company’s gesture or reveals the manipulative behavior of the company in the mask of Christmas—especially， as I have said， since the company is never definitively named as the gift-giver。 And certainly her intended audience isn’t going to consciously wonder or even consider the ethics of the company’s behavior。The pattern to this book is similar to Mighty， Mighty Construction Site with each vehicle’s task for the day described before the truck is put to sleep with a “Goodnight。” The vehicles’ work is finally revealed in its finished form: a new fire station。 I wonder if that signals an upcoming book in the same world。 Mighty， Mighty Fire Station anyone？ 。。。more

It's okay， but why do the construction trucks have to sleep outside in the snow while the police cars and firetrucks get to live inside the house they just built？Spoilers。 It's okay， but why do the construction trucks have to sleep outside in the snow while the police cars and firetrucks get to live inside the house they just built？Spoilers。 。。。more

A revisit to the construction site for Christmas。 Everyone is working hard to make sure the project is completed by Christmas Eve。 Florence’s favourite bit is when each of the vehicles get their presents - particularly the crane truck’s wrecking ball。

A precious continuation of the construction site books。 The equipment is getting things ready on Christmas Eve and as they finish for the day， they find presents in their way。 My grandson loves the construction site books and this one was a great hit。
