Bert causes mayhem on the building site but surprisingly he’s also the hero of the day!
Every day, Bert stands behind the fence of the building site and watches the steamroller, the cement truck and the crane in action. Bert would really like to drive the big machines himself. One day, he does and flattens a car with the steamroller, pours concrete on the road and even hoists a police car up by the crane! But surprisingly Bert is the hero of the day and deserves a reward. This is a picture book with a clever visual sub-plot. As soon as you reach the end, go back to the beginning to find all the picture clues and see Bert foil a bank robbery.
There’s so much for children to enjoy – the detailed illustrations of the machines in action, the chaos and of course the clever back-to-front solving of the mystery.
‘Veldkamp (Tom the Tamer) and Hoogstad (Monster Book) offer an unabashed fantasy in which a boy named Sam causes all manner of mischief at a construction site. … Readers paying attention the backgrounds of Hoogstad’s loopy, pastel-colored scenes may get a hint of why Sam is embarking on his path of destruction, and all is revealed in the final pages. Not only does Sam get to drive some big trucks around, he gets to be the hero, too. What more could a kid want?’
