Construction Zone
by Cheryl Willis Hudson (Author)
Richard Sobol (Photographer)


Do you ever wonder how a building gets built? It's a lot like putting a huge puzzle together!

Here is the story of how one very unusual building was built. The photographs follow the construction from the excavation (digging a hole for the foundation) to the finishing touches. You will get to see the construction workers and their machines doing their dirty, dangerous jobs. Just wait until you see the what this building looks like when it is all finished!
